Writing 1 - Creative Writing
Any writing that stems from the imagination of a writer can be termed creative writing. The English language gives us a framework to put our imagination into writing in a manner that is unique to us as a writer. This does not mean that everyone can be creative. After all, somebody has to read what the writer has written and like it for the writer to feel happy about his work. Where does the scope for creativity come? It comes basically from the way English as a language is structured.
The letters in the alphabet help us to form words. These words are grouped into sentences and these sentences are grouped into paragraphs, and so on. There are thousands of words that are grouped into the 8 different parts of speech. Grammar is the set of rules that needs to be followed so that everyone who knows English can communicate with one another. It is here that the creativity comes in!
A creative writer is tested by the way he communicates to his audience. One single idea can be told in different ways and therefore creative writing can be the way you write so that the idea is communicated in a nice way. The idea itself can be creative and something no one has written about. A new idea by itself is a creative effort and will find ready acceptance by the audience.
Over the years creative writing has evolved with hundreds of writers putting on their thinking caps and writing for the benefit of readers. Creative writing can be equated to traditional literature. Thus, novels, poetry, scripts and short stories are all parts of creative writing.
While the creative writer has a lot of leeway in creating his story there are elements that are common to all forms of creative writing. Take this quiz and learn about creative writing and energise your creative juices!
