Anyone else have zero creativity?

I consider creativity to be different to a specific skill such as drawing or painting. The act of drawing directly from a photo isn't really creative if you copy it detail for detail. creativity is the ability to add your own perspective to whatever you are doing.

In this sense, anything can be creative. Painting and drawing is just a skill people use to express their creativity.
 
I don't have much creativity, when I used to produce music in FL Studio I could never think of any interesting sounds/melody's to make so I gave up eventually.
 
I'd like to think I have 'some' talent for writing, but I doubt I'm good enough to ever get anything published. To be perfectly honest, I doubt you need oodles of talent for writing anyway. What you do need however is being able to stick with something and being able to stomach rewriting the dastardly thing repeatedly until it's gleaming.

Nah, if you rewrite anything too many times it loses its lustre. The best songs, poems, articles, books, paintings etc are those for which its creator had bundles of talent - and for which the creation itself had the least amount of revisions.
