Writing And Creativity

Research suggests that writing can have an impact on creativity, according to a study comparing expert and non-expert writers.

Lotze et al. (2014) found that expert writers showed higher brain activity and performance on creative indices, suggesting a link between writing and creativity. It is unclear if experts become creative through writing or if they write because they are creative, but engaging in creative activities can potentially enhance creativity.
