What creative writing means?
Creative writing, a form of artistic expression, draws on the imagination to convey meaning through the use of imagery, narrative, and drama. This is in contrast to analytic or pragmatic forms of writing. This genre includes poetry, fiction (novels, short stories), scripts, screenplays, and creative non-fiction. While there are many reasons why you might be putting pen to paper or tapping away on the keyboard, there are really only four main types of writing: expository, descriptive, persuasive, and narrative. Each of these four writing genres has a distinct aim, and they all require different types of writing skills. The three main purposes for writing are to persuade, inform, and entertain. In persuasive writing, the author works to convince the reader to do something or to believe in an idea. In informative writing, the author is writing in order to inform the reader about a topic. Why is writing so potent? Because writing is a form of thinking — a particularly powerful form, since those ideas can be re-read not only by you, but by millions of others as well. Writing changes minds, minds change behavior, and behavior changes lives. Why is writing so potent?

Writing changes minds, minds change behavior, and behavior changes lives. Writing down and performing your thoughts can serve to transform the intangibility of your emotions and experiences into something more. They serve as a way for you to make your feelings tangible and real. Andrea Gibson, a well-known poet, says “[Writing is] the one place where the world makes more sense to me.
What are the 5 elements of creative writing?
These five components are: the characters, the setting, the plot, the conflict, and the resolution. These essential elements keep the story running smoothly and allow the action to develop in a logical way that the reader can follow. We offer three principles—storytelling, authenticity and argument—to help writers envision the story they will tell, select the data as evidence for that story and integrate quotations to guide the reader’s interpretation. The following is a brief description of five qualities of good writing: focus, development, unity, coherence, and correctness.
