Following a lecture i attended in the week, i have been further reflecting upon Jurgen Wolffs ideas on connections and creative writing, especially the broadening idea which was mentioned. Wolff described that the more diverse a persons knowledge and experiences, the more there creativity can blossom through different connections.

I find this idea particuarly inspiring, and i like to think throughout my life i have experienced many different things. Throughout my time i have travelled to many places such as Mauritius, South Africa, Dominican Republic. I have been walking across the peak district and climbed many mountains. My background as an athlete provides me with emotionally fuelled memories that i have lots of opportunities to write about, and my current lifestyle as a student is certainly not without its drama. I suppose this post is more of an observation that there are always opportunities to broaden my creativity, it's just a case of stepping out and living a little bit.
