My mother has said every single one of these things to me. But she’s never called me a “creative” writer.
My father, OTOH, has said none of the above to me. Yet he always tells me, “You’re very creative with the truth.”
Anybody wonder about my motivation for doing what I do?

If you need “motivation” to write you’re not really a writer. “I write because I breathe.” gs
No one has ever said any of these things to me, and I tell everyone I’m a screenwriter.
