CREATIVITY AND WRITING FICTION

At Timothy Hallinan’s blog, I discuss creativity:

“Let’s start with what many people believe is the definition of creativity: someone who has a vivid imagination. No one can say that is entirely wrong when checking the list of creative workers above. But there are a few problems with the definition. While imagination is useful and indeed necessary, it is not sufficient to define creativity. What is missing? I have few ideas to share about the basic elements.”

Tim is also the author of two highly acclaimed novels set in Thailand. If you are looking for standout thrillers set in Bangkok, I’d recommend both A Nail Through the Heart and The Fourth Watcher. Both are insightful and fast paced.
