What Actually is Creative Writing?

The Cambridge English Dictionary simply defines it as "the activity of writing stories, poetry, etc." It's a creative activity that calls for participants to utilize the most fantastical parts of their mind.

How Do You Start Writing?

They say write what you know, and that's true!
Write about the world you live in and you can't
go wrong!
Explore different genre's! You never know what
you might end up enjoying.
You don't need to write about yourself. You can
take inspiration from things like fictional
characters, your friends, and even animals.
If you're still in school, take a creative writing
course. Towns may also offer similar courses
for adults as well!
Anyone can write, all it takes it a little effort.

Thomas' Helpful Tricks

If you find yourself stuck when writing a linear
story, skip ahead! You can always go back and
fill in the gaps later.
No matter you level of motivation, try to write
something every day. It will give you good
practice and create good writing habits.
Read, read, read! The more you read, the more
you will know, the more you can write.
Don't be afraid to share your work. It's often
a vulnerable exercise, but outside perspectives
can be very helpful.
Go outside of your comfort zone. You can surprise
yourself when you try out genres or styles that you
you wouldn't usually engage with.
