Creative Writing: Definition and Nature:

A form of writing that expresses writer’s feelings,

emotions, experiences, ideas, or thoughts
obtained at a conscious or subconscious level. It
is more driven by the writer’s need to “express”,
and is generally articulated in the most unique,
inventive, and poetic way.

Creative writing is considered to be any writing,

fiction, poetry, or non-fiction, that goes outside
the bounds of normal professional, journalistic,
academic, and technical forms of literature.
 Styles and Forms of Creative Writing

Creative writing is a term used to distinguish

certain types of writing styles from writing in
general.

All writing can be considered as “creative writing”

including journalism. While journalism is labeled
as something that cannot come under the same
banner as creative writing, a journalist too goes
through the creative processes inherent in all of
us.

How to choose an event to report, how to write it

up and how to present it, all become at some
level, part of the creative process God has gifted
us all with. Even a daily column in the local
newspaper can become a great example of
creative writing.

There is no set standard that guarantees success

and no set formulas for you to follow. Having the
ability to put your thoughts down on a piece of
paper is the beginning to writing. Each individual
is unique, so is their creative process and so will
be their creative writing style.

The Creative Thought Process

The only achievable here is how you actually

develop and channelize your creative writing
skills based on your own creative thought
process. Creative writing courses are increasingly
becoming popular, ranging from a few days
workshop to a college or university degree.

Online creative writing courses, seminars, and

workshops are one of the easiest ways you can
rely upon to help let your creative juices flow
freely. Creative writing softwares are an
additional aid that could spur up your creative
work flow.

Imagination and Expression

The other most beneficial practice that always

yields results is an eye for creative reading. When
you combine both, you will always get better
results. After some time, you will begin to notice
how freely your thoughts, experiences, and
feelings are flowing towards better creative
writing ideas, while other literary circles or even
your friends waste time in discussing how
creative writing cannot be taught.
