Creative writing has always been my favourite kind of writing. To be honest, I don’t like poetry or journalism. In school I finished my first year of journalism only to decide I didn’t like it, there are too many rules.
That’s what is great about creative writing, you only have one rule; anything goes. Basically the only requirement is to figure out how you’re going to write the next great novel, are you going to draft it out via outline, brainstorm, or just go with the flow.
I like writing on the fly, I just open up a Microsoft word document and start typing. Some people can’t do this, and need organization and structure, not me.
When I quit journalism in school, it was around that time that I also stopped writing. Sometimes life just grabs you by the horns and doesn’t let you go. Years later, I felt lost or empty like I was missing something. Then suddenly I was laid off and found I had a lot of time on my hands…that’s when I started to write again.
As soon as I started creating fictional characters and story-lines, I felt like my old self again, that I could accomplish anything. I felt like a kid, who had her whole life ahead of her.
I decided to create a website http://www.creative-writing-help.com, to help people just like me re-discover the joy of writing.
Things in your life might be stressful or not going well, but writing can help you deal with those stresses. As soon as I sit down at my computer, I use my life experience to help weave wonderful stories and plots.
Currently I am in the process of getting one of my novels published, and this wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t taken up writing again.
Thanks and happy writing.
