DEFINITIONS

AND
FEATURES
OF
CREATIVE WRITING

Creative writing is easy. All you do is

stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops
of blood form on your forehead.
 Creative writing is a
kind of writing that uses
language in imaginative
and bold ways...

-Laurie Rozakis (1997)

 Creative writing is an art of
sorts – the art of making things
up. It is writing done in a way
that is not academic or
technical but still attracts an
audience. It can be considered
as any writing that is original
and self-expressive.
