Defining Creative Writing
Creative writing expresses ideas and
thoughts in an imaginative/inventive way. The writer expresses unique artistry, feelings/emotions and ideas in his work. Fiction, Poetry and Plays are defined as creative writing.
In non-creative writing, the writer talks mainly
about facts: academic,-journalistic and technical writing.
Check out the interesting video on creative writing I discovered on www.study.com:
Creative writing requires certain skills and a talent. Skills
can be learned like grammar at school. All of us are talented in many unique ways. Talent is a natural ability, a gift, an
aptitude.
I believe that creative writing requires the following:
·
Desire
for creative expression in writing
·
Imaginative
and or innovative skills
·
Passion
to write!
·
Persistence, eagerness and patience in developing creative writing skills
·
Courage
to ask for feedback on your creative writing
·
Be
prepared for constructive criticism!
·
Practice,
practice and practice.
I was always very artistic and loved arts and creative writing in school but disliked Mathematics and Physics. I did pursue my creative writing skills further through school and later on by simply writing privately.
