Beginning Creative Writing

Any beginning is not simple. Whether in writing, public speaking, schooling, or job, one finds himself/herself with some nervousness, something that may ease with tips on how to do it. Therefore, we should start by saying that it is normal to be nervous when writing any type of paper-not just creative writing books. The difference is created with how well or badly you handle it.

Beginning creative writing becomes easy with the implementation of the following tips;

–  Brainstorming: ask yourself what would be exciting to write about and why you should write.

–  Begin practicing writing: many do not believe and do not find out that creative writing merely involves putting ideas on a piece of paper until they actually begin to do it. When you practice writing, it unblocks many barriers, especially those created by the feeling that writing is difficult.

–  Use observation: sometimes, ideas for creative writing may not be coming through. In this case, you may want to use observation to generate necessary ideas. For instance, note things around and write about them. Write about things you smell, how you feel, and places you visit, for instance.

–  Note the best time to write: for some, the best time to write is late at night and others do it better early in the morning. You might have to experiment at different times in order to find out what works for you.

–  Don’t be too concerned about getting it right: you might see later that, revising and proofreading of work is an important thing in any writing and thus, in creative writing. Hence, do not panic a lot if you cannot get it correctly at first.

–  Make sure it is fun: creative writing should be fun. Thus, you need to select interesting topics if you should excel in creative writing course.
