Ep 3 - Writing Flash NonFiction with Paul Lutter

In this episode of "Created Creative," our hosts, Ruth and Dawn, chat with Paul Lutter, the man of many hats (or should we say robes?). Paul is not just a pastor, he's also a seasoned teacher and a poetic essayist. He shares his memorable journey of writing and how it's intertwined with his spirituality. Lightbulb moment? He talks about comparing writing to playing a piano and how improvisational comedy has helped shape his writing and ministries. Not to leave us hanging, he also gives the nod to a super creative homework assignment from Ruth and Dawn: to whip up a 750-word story, a flash nonfiction piece that reveals his secret pastor identity. It's a creative bonanza you won't want to miss.00:01 Introduction and Guest Introduction 00:28 Discussing Seminary Experiences 00:58 Introducing Paul Lutter's Background 01:51 Exploring the Concept of Creative Nonfiction Flash 02:19 The Writing Process and Creativity 04:35 Interview with Paul Lutter Begins 04:49 Paul's Creative Process and Writing Style 14:46 The Intersection of Creativity and Spirituality 18:00 The Challenge of Integrating Pastoral Identity into Writing 21:48 Setting a Creative Writing Assignment for PaulFind Paul's Flash Fiction piece he wrote for his "assignment" at createdcreativepodcast.com
