Remember when creativity was second nature? When stories spilled from your imagination without hesitation or fear?

That’s not lost. It’s just dormant.

In today’s episode of The Adventurous Author, we unpack the science of creative neoteny—why daily writing may be your best shot at preserving the brain’s natural storytelling instincts.

Inside this episode:

✔️ The neuroscience of why most adults lose their creative edge

✔️ How daily writing preserves flexibility, divergent thinking, and curiosity

✔️ What Jesus, da Vinci, Maya Angelou, and Fred Rogers understood about staying open to wonder

✔️ A writing challenge that trains your brain to see the world like a first-time explorer

✔️ Why consistent storytelling isn’t just craft—it’s neural preservation

🎧 Listen now.

🚀 Wonder isn’t childish. It’s the beginning of mastery.

Keep the words rolling and the adventures unfolding,

Bonnie Jean
