English Teacher Enjoys Creative Writing

An experienced English teacher in an university was writing an English creative writing textbook for a publisher. Target users were primary one school children. As she was an expert in adult English education, this project was a pain for her, limiting her in her use of vocabulary and sentence structures. It had been dragging her feet for quite some time, with both progress and quality at unsatisfactory levels. “I have no creativity in my mind. How can I foster creative writing in my readers!” she said as she gave an expression of frustration.

This teacher did a balance on learning to enjoy the creative process. From her teaching manuscripts before and after the balance, can you notice any progress? 
