What is Creative Writing??

• Creative writing is a form of writing where
  creativity is at the forefront of its purpose
  through using imagination, creativity, and
  innovation in order to tell a story through
  strong written visuals with an emotional impact,
  like in poetry writing, short story writing,
  novel writing, and more.

Creative Writing Tips

• Be an Avid Reader
• Reading all types of writing can spark ideas in
  your own imagination. The more you read fiction
  and creative nonfiction, the more you'll
  naturally adopt their natural rhythm and flow.
• Keep an Idea Book/Notes App
• Inspiration for creative writing can strike at
  any moment. Be prepared with a notebook dedicated
  to ideas or even a notes app on your phone. When
  you periodically browse your ideas, you might
  find that combining a couple of seemingly
  unrelated ideas sparks a new piece of writing.

• Ask What if Questions
• To tap into your creativity, ask yourself
  questions that start with What if? For example,
  if you know you want to write about a tiger, you
  might ask yourself What if the tiger is best
  friends with a deer? or What if the tiger
  doesnt look like an ordinary tiger? 
• Write with Abandon
• If you have an idea for a story, sit down and
  start typing, without editing as you go. Just let
  the ideas flow out of your mind. After the story
  is out of your head and onto the screen, then you
  can consider revising.

• Read Your Work Out Loud 
• Even after you've gotten it all out, it's still
  not time to edit. Read your idea out loud to hear
  how it sounds. See which scenes jump out at you.
  Remember which bits of dialogue are particularly
  powerful.
• Create a Scene List
• You might want to outline your scenes after
  you've written that first draft of your story.
  This helps you organize the plot line and make
  sure it flows.

• Proofread and Edit Out Fluff
• Now it's time to proofread and edit. Even though
  your work is meant to be creative and original,
  it should still follow standard writing rules.
  While imagination is key to creative writing, you
  still need to remove any "fluffy" parts of the
  story.
