It makes sentence flow more rhythmically, more swiftly. I find reading a very cerebral (impressive word) activity, that demands a lot of concentration- so make a conscious effort to write in a style that's easy to read . Try to make your reading so easy on eye, that a child can enjoy (and appreciate) your writing style.

Now you have all tools and talent there should not be anything to stop you indulging in your creative pursuits. I hope this information may be helpful to you in your creative writing

"If a man has talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded and has a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know." -- Thomas Wolfe

"Everyone has a talent. What is rare is courage to follow talent to dark place where it leads." -- Erica Jong

Authors Note:

This short article was a reply to a question in a literary magazine on how I use my creative imagination (or subconscious mind) to overcome writer's block .

N.B: I truly believe we ALL have this amazing power within us (not only writers) and like any skill, it just needs to be developed with practice. The creative imagination can solve any problem you may encounter down "river of life". P.S: Sorry about all "eyes" in article, but didn't know how to write it any other way. Perhaps I should have left "problem" to my creative imagination!

" I truly believe we can all create and enthuse magic into 'so-called humdrum little lives'. You don't just have to be choreorapher, or conductor of your life script - rather paint your life as the masterpiece it could (one day) be.

There is a rich tapestry of talent in every human soul, that flows through (and from ), Source of our Being, Spirit of God, Life. So don't spend your days stringing and tuning your instrument; start making and playing your unique tunes of music now."
