All my life I've loved creating in various forms.

I currently have around 5+ projects for starcraft 2 custom maps and before Starcraft 2 I was an active user of the warcraft 3 editor.

I like to write and I've done a lot of experimenting with movie making, 3d modelling and CAD, picture editing and such.

I was the kind of kid that built lego but never played with it.

I just love creating.

Sometimes I hear people complaining about the current popularity system for custom games in Starcraft 2 and how they can't bother making maps anymore because of the lack of public but to me, it doesn't matter.

I don't create for others, I create for myself. Not because I might enjoy the final product but because I enjoy the process of creating. I will keep doing custom maps for as long as I don't have something better to create.

Now, I recently learned that my younger brother does not share the same urge for creativity and it came as a surprise for me. We're so similar in so many ways, but he doesn't share this, for me, vital part.

So I started thinking and I realized how most people I know don't seem to enjoy the process of creating. Sure, I have some friends that like to paint and I have some friends who like to program but I can't think of someone who likes to create stuff in general.

By now, you might've realized that I don't really have a point with this blog or maybe I forgot it somewhere on the way.

Anyway, I'm off to work on one of my countless Starcraft 2 custom maps: Cruiser Command.

More info can be found here: http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php/166933-Project-Cruiser-Command

[/shamelessselfplug]

So I think what I'm really wondering is, does anyone else share the same urge for creativity that I feel?

I consider myself creatively inclined, but I also care about the finished product being good, so I guess I'm creative + practical/logical.

Oh, I do care about the finished product being good, but that's not the reason I'm creating it in the first place. That's just a bonus.

Mostly short pieces of fantasy. A lot of small stuff. Generally, I lack the time and ideas to write more.

Even though I don't have a good idea for a book, I can just sit down and write whatever comes to my mind.

I like writing fantasy/sci-fi from unusual points of view.

im kind of the opposite. i have a lot of time and a lot of ideas but I just can't decide on the right way to write them. i have this "grand novel" idea that I keep coming back to but there seems to be an embargo on writing, I just don't know where to begin and where to end.

In English a novel means a book (200+ pages) that is fiction. That's why it sounds kind of weird when you nonchalantly say you've written a few novels haha. edit: oh, I guess you've edited out that part.

I realized that it sounded wrong that's why I edited out.

Although, they are all supposed to become novels, they're just not finished.

So when I said I like writing novels that just means I've started several but only small pieces of each since I have no good ideas.
