Nikki Giovanni — 🎨 Creativity Quote

Giovanni identifies empathy rather than experience as the true source of creative writing.

“Writers dont write from experience though many are reluctant to admit that they dont. If you wrote from experience youd get maybe one book maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy and creativity.”
