Creative writing

Many people are unaware that there are many different types of writing. Writing is used in a wide variety of different subjects. Some people think that left part of the brain is used for technical writing and the right side is used for creative writing (Patel). Technical writing is used in the fields of science, engineering, technology and the health sciences (Nordquist). Creative writing is used in novels, poems, epics, short stories, screenplays, songs, television scripts, etc. (YourDictionary)

“Now class this year as part of the first semester you will be writing a collection of poetry. There will be four poems all in different genres in your collection by the end of the semester…” Oh no. Oh no no no. I cannot write a poem. I don’t even like reading poems. How in the world am supposed to write one, no scratch that four! I can’t write four poems! With all this new information my chest started to feel tight. My mind was spinning trying to figure out how I was going to do this. How

In this class, Creative Writing, we learned twelve different rules for writing. I felt that each rule, except for two, were important and could help, not only with writing, but in school, work, and life. We had writing projects due weekly and, in class, we traded papers so we could edited each others work.We also made a Google Docs and collaboratively wrote stories in groups of three to five people. My group is writing a murder mystery on a cruise ship. With this project I learned more about what

than a learning utensil to students. But at what cost? Handwriting is the most beneficial way for everyone to learn and develop their brains and creative processes. Today we will delve into how handwriting increases brain activity. Second, we will examine the educational advancements of handwriting. Finally, we will explore how handwriting improves creative thoughts. First, let’s start with the brain. When people handwrite, the brain is utilized in numerous areas. Handwriting is a difficult task that

my classmates’ writing. Having a mix of large and small group discussions have allowed me not only to help others improve their writing, but to learn about different writing styles and techniques. Throughout the course, I have worked closely with Cory Robinson, a senior at Sacred Heart University, studying English/Pre-Law with multiple minors, including Creative Writing. In an interview with Robinson, I have learned about how he gained an interest in writing, what he enjoys writing, and ultimately

with witches, girls of enviable complexion, fiery horses, and heroic bumpkins, and most of them lurk even in now in the recesses of my memory, informing my expectations of the world. Since then, my academic interests have never strayed far from my creative development as a writer. My goals have been to read as much as I can, to see as much as I can of the world, both literally and intellectually, and to write as well as I can. Kurt Vonnegut once said something to the effect that it’s easier to write

Every writer has a beginning. This is the story of how I started out writing. It all started when I was 16 when I went to the cinema to view James Cameron’s comeback film Avatar. It was late 2009 when the film had just come out in the middle of December. It was Cameron’s comeback after a 12-year hiatus after the roaring success of Titanic in 1997 which won him numerous Oscars. Needless to say, I loved it. The film was beautiful. I had never experienced a film where I would feel for the characters

write with insight. These are some of the great things that make creative writing become irreplacalbe in my writing life. My writing life starts out with writing whatever comes out to my head, without being troubled by grammar mistakes and a lack of sentence variety. In this case, anything that has to do with free writing such as writing stories and fictions are the things I’m most into in my writing life. But whenever I say I love writing, what I really mean is that I enjoy seeing the process of turning

our short stories and poetry to share with each other and gain feedback on our creative writing. As I got into high school, I continued to enjoy the creative writing, but not so much the research papers. My first English Composition class in college left me second guessing everything I had learned about writing and turned me away from any interest I had left. Creative writing at one time was easy for me, research writing was difficult for me, I really struggled with grammar, and when you add the negative

This year, we have been working on building vocabulary, writing cohesive sentences, analyzing texts in the context of history, identifying literary devices, and organizing a well-constructed paragraph. Additionally, students have been introduced to both analytical and creative writing.
