What makes Creative Writing effective? The answer is simple: it should have the ability to get your message across to your readers. In this section, we will tackle the different decisions you need to make in order to write clearly and concisely. We will also talk about knowing your limits so that you can make the right choices about what to write and how to write it well. Common problems when writing come about as a result of three primary factors: environmental stress, personal stress and stress as a byproduct of the work. Regardless of their cause, all of these dilemmas are discouraging—however, that doesn’t mean that aspiring writers should give up just because they’re in a rut. Here, we outline the usual suspects which disrupt the creative process and how to deal with them. One of the biggest challenges when writing is being able to write well even when you feel uninspired; in this section we learn about how to get inspired. We also delve deeper into what it takes to become an awesome writer. In addition to desire, there are a lot of tools and skills which you need in order to become a good creative writer. Perfection of language and grammar are a must—mastering the elements of your genre is crucial. Here we will discuss the different tools you’ll need and how to use them. Words populate the cities that are our sentences. The way they behave and the way they sound determine whether or not we are able to communicate properly with others—which is the very point of writing. Moreover, in creative writing it’s important not just to get your point across but to do it in a way that is beautiful or inspiring. Wording can make the difference between an article, poem or story that will motivate someone to change their lifestyle and one that will be tossed in the trash bin after it’s been read. Picking the right way to phrase your sentences is tricky but with the proper technique, anyone can construct engaging sentences and produce work that will have a strong impact on readers. In an interview, novelist Stephen King said, “If you don’t have the time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write.” Writers learn from the authors they’ve read—it’s commonplace for aspiring writers to begin their literary efforts by imitating their favorite writers. However, how far can that imitation go? Writing is all about self-expression and getting your message across as accurately as possible. Given this, it is of utmost importance that you learn about yourself. This will give you an idea not just of what you want to express, but how to best express it. Below, we will be outlining steps to finding the true you—and how this can help you become a better writer. Poetry is defined as a manner of writing in which emphasis is given to word choice (sound, image, meaning) and which employs the line as its fundamental unit (whereas in poetry, the sentence is the fundamental unit). Poetry uses enjambments or line cuts to state emphasis. In addition to this, it also makes use of figures of speech such as metaphors, similes and hyperboles more than any other genre of writing. In the previous lesson, we discussed the basic elements of poetry and certain techniques which would help the budding poet satisfy those elements. In this section, we’re going tackle the specifics of poetic structure. We’re also going to be reviewing more examples of well-written poems as a means to mastering wordplay in our own work. Furthermore, we’re going to discuss more problems that may arise when forming poetry and how we can work around them. The short story is a relatively young form, only having been established in the 17th century—before its advent, the only type of prose work available for public consumption was literary criticism. All other story-telling was done via drama or the poetry epic. Spear-headed by Miguel De Cervantes’s Don Quixote, the short story is a precursor to the novel and is a form that focuses on narrative and plot. Now that we’ve mastered the short story, we can move onto a bigger body of work. The novel is perhaps the most popular medium of prose available to us today. It typically consists of many chapters which contribute to a bigger plot or theme. In this lesson, we’re going to take an in-depth look at how novels are written and how we can tackle problems that might occur during that process. Creative Non-Fiction is one of the most over-looked genres of prose. It differs from the scientific/critical essay by incorporating literary elements such as narrative and figurative speech. In this lesson, we’ll be talking about the different types of Creative Non-Fiction, its elements and how to go about writing it. We’ll also be discussing common problems encountered by Creative Non-Fiction writers and how to overcome them. This class has taught us a series of things: we began this Creative Writing Workshop by talking about the decisions we need to make before, during and after writing. In that section we were able to learn about how to gather material to write about, how to make choices when it comes to what we want to write about and also how to employ certain habits that will make us good creative writers, such as always bringing a notebook and always proofreading our drafts.
