THE BASICS OF CREATIVE WRITING
Introduction
What is creative writing?
- Creative writing, also known as imaginative writing.
- It is any writing that is original, artistic, and self-
expressive. Its purpose is to entertain and share human
experiences by expressing feelings or thoughts that are
borne out of the imagination as you can see in poetry,
fiction, plays, and personal essays.
- It is a form of artistic expression that draws on the
imagination to convey thoughts, ideas, and feelings
through the use of narrative craft, character
development, literary techniques, and various traditions
of poetry and poetics.
- It is mainly fictional and may take the form of poetry,
short story, novel, or play.
The purpose…
- The purpose of creative writing is to both entertain and
share human experience, like love or loss.
- Writers attempts to get at a truth about humanity through
poetics and storytelling.
- If you’d loke to try your hand at creative writing, just
keep in mind that whether you are trying to express a
feeling or a thought, the first step is to use your
imagination.
CREATIVE WRITING LITERARY FORMS
Poetry – is an expression of imaginative awareness of experience
through meaning, sound, and rhythmic language; with the
purpose of evoking emotional response. Though it is often
mistaken that poetry needs to be structured, with meter and
rhyme, this is always not the case. Some poems are free-verse
and do not need structure.
Classifications of Poetry
Lyric poems
- include odes, sonnets, elegies, poems for various
occasions, and simple lyric poems.
- A lyric poem is a private expression of emotion by an
individual speaker.
- It is highly musical and can feature poetic devices like
rhyme and meter.
Narrative poems
- are poems which narrate a story in verse form.
- presents a series of events through action and dialogue.
- Most narrative poems feature a single speaker: the
narrator.
- Traditional forms of narrative poetry include epics,
ballads, and Arthurian romances.
Short stories - is a fully developed story which is shorter than a
novel and longer than a fable. It typically takes just a single sitting
for reading. Short Story focuses on the incidents bigger or smaller
and evokes strong feelings from its readers and often has a few
characters in the plot.
Novels - an invented prose narrative of considerable length and a
certain complexity that deals imaginatively with human
experience, usually through a connected sequence of events
involving a group of persons in a specific setting.
Drama is a play that can be performed for theatre, radio or even
television. These plays are usually written out as a script, or a
written version of a play that is read by the actors but not the
audience.
The Benefits of Creative Writing
1. Creative Writing Improves Self Expression
Improving your writing skills leads to stronger
communication. When you practice finding the right word in a
story or poem, you engage the same parts of your brain that are
active in everyday writing and speaking. A creative writing course
subconsciously turns you into a more effective communicator.
2. Creative Writing Leads to Job Success
This brings us to our next point: great writing leads to job
success. Of course, your boss probably isn’t expecting you to
write emails in the form of a short story or a sonnet – though if
they are expecting this, you have a pretty cool boss.
3. Creative Writing Boosts Thinking Skills
Strong writing leads to strong thinking. No matter what
type of writing you pursue, learning how to write is another form of
learning how to think.
4. Creative Writing Fosters Empathy
Reading and writing both rely on empathy, especially
when it comes to being an effective workshop participant. When
we read and write stories, we situate ourselves in the shoes of
other people; when we read and write poetry, we let language
navigate us through emotion.
5. Creative Writing Is Fun
In case you’re not convinced that a writing course is
right for you, let’s clarify one more fact: creative writing is fun.
Whether you’re in a fiction writing course, starting a memoir,
crafting a poem, or writing for the silver screen, you’re creating
new worlds and characters. In the sandbox of literature, you’re in
MODULE 2
WRITING THROUGH SENSORY EXPERIENCE
Sensory Details: Definition and Examples
Sensory Details Definition
- The writer’s ability to create a gripping and memorable
story has much to do with engaging our five senses.
- Sensory details include sight, sound, touch, smell, and
taste. Writers employ the five senses to engage a
reader's interest. If you want your writing to jump off the
page, then bring your reader into the world you are
creating. When describing a past event, try and
remember what you saw, heard, touched, smelled, and
tasted, then incorporate that into your writing.
- Sensory details are used in any great story, literary or
not. Think about your favorite movie or video game.
What types of sounds and images are used? What do
your favorite characters taste, smell, and touch? Without
sensory details, stories would fail to come to life.
- When sensory details are used, your readers can
personally experience whatever you're trying to
describe, reminding them of their own experiences,
control, and when you invest yourself into the craft of writing,
something beautiful emerges.
Creative Writing compared to other forms of writing
As part of the learning process, you are expected to
analyze existing literary works – how these works convey their
messages, that makes them unique from one another, and what
their important characteristics are.
Below are the writing styles that follow a more serious and
structured form of language as opposed to creative writing.
1. Academic Writing – it is the most commonly used style in
scholastic compositions. It is mainly used in the publications and
references used by teachers and researchers, or in educational
conference presentations. It is the most familiar style among
students.
2. Technical Writing – conveys specific information about a
technical subject for a specific audience. It often contains facts
and is straightforward in its tone of writing. Business letters,
memoranda, manuals, handbooks are common examples of
technical writing.
3. Creative Nonfiction Writing– discusses factually accurate
narratives while employing the use of literary devices commonly
found in fiction, thus making it fun to read. The autobiography,
biography, travelogue, blogs are examples of written works
classified as creative nonfiction.
4. Journalism and News Writing – the writing style employed in
various mass media such as newspaper, television, and radio.
A reliable piece of writing must be;
a. Accurate: the information presented must be true and
correct.
b. Balanced: both sides of the story should be presented.
c. Objective: personal biases should be avoided.
d. Concise: it must be direct to the point.
e. Current: the element of time must be highlighted, as
soon as it happens; it must be reported right away.
giving your writing a universal feel. A universal quality is
conveyed when the writer is able to personally connect
with the readers.
- Another note about sensory details: there is no one
sense that's more important than another. It all depends
on the scene you're trying to create. However, imagery,
the sight sense, is a common feature in vivid writing.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson, in full Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron
Tennyson of Aldworth and Freshwater, (born August 6, 1809,
Somersby, Lincolnshire, England—died October 6, 1892,
Aldworth, Surrey), English poet often regarded as the chief
representative of the Victorian age in poetry. He was raised to the
peerage in 1884.
THE LANGUAGE OF CREATIVE WRITING
LITERARY DEVICES
 Use imagery, diction, figures of speech, and specific
experiences to evoke meaningful responses from
readers
  are techniques used by the author to achieve his or her
purpose. It also refers to the typical structures used by
writers in their works to convey his or her messages in a
simple manner to the readers.  When employed
properly, the different literary devices help readers to
appreciate, interpret and analyze a literary work. Below
is a list of literary devices with detailed definition and
examples.
A. Figures of Speech
1. Simile - in simile two unlike things are explicitly compared. For
example, “She is like a fairy”. A simile is introduced by words such
as like, so, as etc.
2. Metaphor - is an informal or implied simile in which words like,
as, so are omitted. For example, “He is like a lion (Simile) “and
“He is a lion (metaphor)”. In the following examples, metaphors
are underlined.
- She is a star of our family.
- The childhood of the world; the anger of the tempest; the
deceitfulness of the riches: wine is a mocker.
- She is now in the sunset of her days.
3. Personification - is an attribution of personal nature, intelligence
or character to inanimate objects or abstract notions. For
example, in some phrases we use, the furious storm, the thirsty
ground, and the pitiless cold. Some other examples are:
- Hunger sat shivering on the road.
- Flowers danced about the lawn, swaying with the wind.
4. Hyperbole - is a statement made emphatic by overstatement.
For example, “Virtues as the sands of the shore.”
5. Onomatopoeia - the formation of a word whose sound is made
to suggest or echo the sense as in cuckoo, bang, growl, hiss.
- The moan of doves in immemorial elms and murmur of
innumerable bees.
- Rend with the tremendous sound your ears asunder with
guns, drum, trumpet, blunderbuss, and thunder.
6. Apostrophe - it is a direct address to some inanimate thing or
some abstract idea as if it were living person or some absent
person as if it were present. Example, “Boy’s mother loved him
very much.”
7. Metonymy - is meant for a change of name. It is a substitute of
the thing names for the thing meant. Following examples will
clarify the concept.
- The pen is mightier than the sword.
- From the cradle to the grave. = from childhood to death.
- I have never read Milton. = the works of Milton.
8. Oxymoron - it is a figure of speech which combines two
seemingly contradictory or incongruous words for sharp emphasis
or effect. For example,
- “darkness visible” (Milton);
- “make haste slowly” (Suetonius)
- “loving hate” (Romeo and Juliet)
9. Irony or sarcasm - in this mode of speech, the real meanings of
the words used are different from the intended meanings. For
example, the child of cobbler has no shoe.
10. Paradox – is a figure of speech which contradicts itself in the
same sentence. For example, “War is peace. Ignorance is
strength. Freedom is slavery.” – From George Orwell’s 1984
11. Synecdoche - is the understanding of one thing by means of
another. Here, a part is used to designate the whole or the whole
to designate a part. For example, “I have the Viceroy, love the
man.”, and “All hands (crew) at work.”
12. Understatement – is an expression wherein the thing
described is made to appear unimportant. For example, “Don’t
worry about me. This cancer is nothing.”
13. Antithesis - a striking opposition or contrast of words is made
in the same sentence in order to secure emphasis. For example,
 To err is human, to forgive divine.
 Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.
B. Imagery - is when a writer invokes the five senses
- Taste: The familiar tang of his grandmother’s cranberry
sauce reminded him of his youth.
- Sound/Hearing: The concert was so loud that her ears
rang for days afterward.
- Sight: The sunset was the most gorgeous they’d ever
seen; the clouds were edged with pink and gold.
- Smell: After eating the curry, his breath reeked of garlic.
- Touch: The tree bark was rough against her skin.
C. Foreshadowing - Important hints that an author drops to
prepare the reader for what is to come, and help the reader
anticipate the outcome. For example, “A pipe is going to burst, but
before it does, the author writes a scene where the family notices
a small dark spot on the ceiling, but ignores it.”
Symbolism - is when a writer invokes the five senses Pink - the
fight against breast cancer
- The Statue of Liberty – freedom
- Roses stand for romance.
- Violets represent shyness.
- Lilies stand for beauty and temptation.
- Chrysanthemums represent perfection.
D. Idioms- expressions with a meaning different from the literal
meaning of the words.
Examples:
- I got cold feet before my speech = was scared
- My boss gave me the green light = my boss said yes
draw the curtains = close the curtains put the lights out =
turn off the lights
E. Cliche - is an expression that has lost its power or originality
from overuse.
Examples:
- talking a mile, a minute
- quiet as a mouse
- easy as pie
- They all lived happily ever after
- Read between the lines
- Fall head over heals
- Waking up on the wrong side of the bed

F. Sound devices
Rhyming Words – add beauty and rhythm to the poem
Examples:
- Forward the light brigade
- Was there a man dismayed?
Alliteration – repetition of the same sound at the beginning of
words.
Example:
- Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
Assonance – repetition of sounds of a vowel or diphthong which
are near to each other.
Example:
- I love thee to the depth and breadth and get.
G. Style, Mood, and Tone
Style is the way the author uses words, phrases, and sentences.
Every author has his or her own style – that is, each author uses
literary devices, tone, and mood in a particular way that makes his
or her writing recognizable. When you read several books by the
same author, you become accustomed to the author’s style of
writing and sometimes you look for authors with a similar style.
So, when analyzing an author’s style, we need to consider:
- point-of-view,
- formal or informal writing,
- organization/structure of text,
- level of complexity in the writing,
- overall tone.
Mood is the overall feelings or emotions that are created IN THE
READER. The “power of the pen” can move mountains. Authors
“move” their readers’ moods through their choice of words and
level of detail.
Tone is a literary device that reflects the writer’s attitude toward
the subject matter or audience of a literary work. By conveying
this attitude through tone, the writer creates a particular
relationship with the reader that, in turn, influences the intention
and meaning of the written words. 
H. Diction – the choice of words and phrases in speech or writing
and that tone is really part of your diction.
Common Types of Diction
 Formal: use of elevated, sophisticated, professional
language. Formal diction does not feature slang

or colloquialisms, but instead adheres to proper
grammar and complex sentence structure.
Example: As heretofore stated by the representative of
the firm, any indication of microaggression among
colleagues will not be tolerated.
 Informal: conversational, casual, realistic language.
Informal diction is often used by writers to portray real-
life communication or dialogue between realistic
characters, and it is often utilized in narrative literary
forms such as short fiction and novels.
Example: Text me when you’re ready to head home so I
can pick you up.
 Colloquial: informal words or expressions that are
typically associated with a specific region or time period.
Colloquialisms are useful in portraying realistic and
colorful characters.
Example: Have y’all heard that new Country Music
song?
 Slang: words or phrases originated within a particular
culture or subgroup that become widespread in use.
Example: I look tired because I was binge-watching a
show on Netflix last night.
 Pedantic: detailed, academic writing. Pedantic diction
generally reflects deliberate, educated word choices with
denotative intention.
Example: It’s beneficial in an academic milieu to
understand the etymology of literary terms.
 Abstract: expression of the intangible such as ideas or
emotions.
Example: My head was swirling as I tried to recall my
husband’s words of love.
 Concrete: use of words for denotative meanings.
Concrete diction is specific, literal, and detailed so that
it’s not open to interpretation.
Example: hat book belongs in the empty space on the
second shelf.
 Poetic: lyrical wording related to and reflective of
a poem’s theme. Poetic diction typically includes
descriptive language that is potentially set
to rhythm and meter.
Example: Let us go then, you and I, / When the evening
is spread out against the sky  (from “The Love Song of J.
Alfred Prufrock” by T.S. Eliot)
