Writer's Tips: Creative Writing

 



CREATIVE WRITING


Creative writing, like art, is subjective, and therefore difficult to define.

Certainly fiction and poetry qualify as creative writing, but what about journal writing, articles and essays, memoirs and biographies? What about textbooks and copywriting? Technical writing? Blog posts?

Where do we draw the line between creative writing and other types of writing?

In some cases, what qualifies as creative is obvious. You read something and you know that it belongs in the creative category. Other times, a piece of writing, while skillful, might not strike you as creative in nature. And then, there’s everything in between – stuff that’s sort of creative or not quite creative enough.
