Okay, so actually my job involves creativity. When it comes to thinking creatively, I do that most of the time. But I think the most memorable project was when I was still in my bachelor's studies. I was in a class called fiction because I was a literature student. My lecturer gave us an assignment to write a piece of fiction. As a person who enjoys reading fiction, it turned out that writing one was not as simple as it seemed. It wasn't as simple as I thought it would be, but I tried anyway. It was really hard to come up with a story that would be interesting and less mainstream. Back then, when I was that age, around eighteen or nineteen, most of the fiction I read was cringy romance, not the high-quality ones. So I had to come up with an idea that wasn't mainstream and yet still interesting. I wrote a fanfiction of Harry Potter, which is basically an alternative story or plot. I wrote about Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger. It was like a fanfiction, but I hope it wasn't that bad. With that fiction, I got an A for that course.
