In today’s culture stories are king; everything we are and everything we do is based on stories. Our core beliefs are usually based on stories from our religious scripts such as the bible, or on our nation’s story, making us patriots who love their country. It’s a well known fact that the pen is mightier than the sword, as stories can bring peace between nations, or wreak havoc in war. A creative writer needs to make everything exciting, from articles, blog posts, and item descriptions in stores, to books, screenplays and anything else that has words. Think of it as wordsmithing, and like any other profession, practice makes perfect.
What is Creative Writing:
The ability to create a compelling piece of writing that the reader just can’t put down until the very end. The ability to use all the writing techniques that have been around since the dawn of mankind, and yes, it goes back to the storytellers around the campfire in caves. Throughout history, giants such as Socrates, Homer, and Shakespeare have created countless writing techniques; and we, as creative writers, need to know and implement as many of them as possible, in order to not only write well, but also not to mix genres and story types. Imagine having a mishmash of fantasy and sci-fi mixed with horror; the number of people who would actually enjoy it will dwindle down with every added style.
