Creative writing

Explore the subject material 

The art of writing is the art of creation. Creative writing is playing with words and painting with images. Words can be used to influence, touch, create emotions, caress and love. Words can change the world, bring the past to life and predict the future. Words can guide, entertain, make you laugh and bring you to tears. So, words have great power. When it comes to writing, the only limit is your imagination. 

 

Creative writing reveals the rhythm of words, the fun of words and the horror of words. Words can revive and offend. The responsibility of the writer is great, because the power of words is immense. Creativity is like a little child at play in all of us. It pushes boundaries, seeks new things, falls in love and gets angry. Creativity can be fragile and vulnerable and sometimes it gets lost. But creativity is never lost, it is found when you look for it. Writing is one of the best ways to find yourself. Creative writing can open your life to new joy and exhilaration. Test your limits and break them.
