CREATIVE WRITING

CREATIVE WRITING

Creative writing is almost a spiritual activity. Its purpose is not to inform, but to reveal. A creative writer concentrates on either concrete things of the world, or on abstract thoughts like love or divinity, and pours out his feelings in his writing. 

Some times, bringing his unique imagination into play, a creative writer may interact with life around and write about situations and events. Creative writing enlightens us and lifts us to higher planes. 

Creativity is the primary impulse of all the artistic fields. Defining creativity would be as subjective as defining love or hate. Here is one definition of creativity

Creativity is an abstraction conceived by the imaginative instincts of an artist's mind and influenced by his related environment, past and present.

In order to be effective, a piece of creative writing must:

a) Stop the target audience

b) Hold the target audience

c) Send an absolutely clear message.

If writing had not been invented, we would not have known anything of past, anything of other places or other people. We would have continue to live in utter ignorance in our isolated places. We write to communicate our thoughts, our ideas and our feeling. Writing allows us to express ourselves.

Have a Happy and Learning Day
