What guidelines are necessary to become a creative writer?
there is no solid definition of creative writing. But to express your emotion properly and inspire others from your writing. The reader may not waste his time but get something inspired.
This is the most important keyword and a much more readable word. We all want to search for it and start writing about it. But the difficulty comes with how to start and from where?
Creative writing interprets and expresses thoughts and emotions in proper style. Give a shape and provoke your audience whom you want to address. You have read a lot of materials on it, that how to express your ideas?
Read and write
This is the main clue of creative writing. Got inspiration from others and then in your style express. There are several tools and techniques for converting your emotions. Each of which is valuable and interesting. You may only get the methods and techniques of how to portray it? These are only for learning how the writer expressed his emotion and provoke the other’s ideas. As we know the intimation brings noting. It is not a good work of pride. Real happiness does not lie here. The real satisfaction and pride you may get from your work. So many times you may pass through this experience.
Creativity and innovation
No one looks better at copying the works of others, even if, they are renowned personalities. Everyone has their taste and style of living. Intimation of others kills the virtue of creativity. In this regard, I read hundreds of articles but I got nothing. Here everyone expressed his ideas and methods. There is no particular definition of creative writing. The suggestions and techniques of everyone are quite different from others.
Genre and style
An interesting clue or you may say a bit of good advice which I got from reading their work, is to express yourself. What are your strong feelings and ideas work on it? Push yourself and stick to those thoughts you want to convey to others.
Imaginative process
From the beginning, it is an imaginative process that needs to be explored. Once you jump into this ocean of creativity, you will know how to swim in it. Confidence and guidelines are required in the beginning. But this should not be the helping hands forever to stick to it.
A time will come when you produce classic work. All the innovations were made in this way. The people wanted something for their work and produced something different. Later on, they became famous for that innovation. Took a pen and copy and start writing. Over time in your writing, your maturity and authority will appear.
Factual and true
The writing should be factual. It doesn’t mean that you start the story of your life. But the images which you got in some way or other related to your life or someone’s experiences. I read some stories or creative writings which are beyond imagination. No need to produce metaphysical and mysterious work. At this time no one wants to stay in such false inhabitants. Nowadays all people are practical. And wants the best possible results.
Key elements of creativity
Use metaphors and similes while expressing your ideas and imagination. It is the best way. Such a product that is unique and interesting to your audience is required. All these things will come to mind and then become unique with time. Regularity and punctuality are also needed. Once an idea hit the mind, need to write it on a piece of paper. When time is appropriate or you are in isolation start writing and taking tea with biscuits.
Authenticity in creativity
The work which you produce must have a solid foundation. A person must believe in the work. As it will in one way or other relate to practical life. The imagination should be authentic and one must believe in its happening.
Purpose of creative writing
It should be kept in mind that the outcome of creative writing is to develop the characters and motivate the reader. Spending huge time reading must provide some valuable inspiration and motivation. Not merely a waste of time. Bow the seed of motivation. As the reader wants something new to overcome his anxiety or boredom. Around us, some heroes do unbelievable work for society. One may get inspiration and motivation from them, now it is up to you, to give it an artistic touch. These are the basic prerequisite of creative writing. The joy will come to you and you will convey it to others.
Famous types of creative writing
We have read many novels and short stories. All these are real pictures of creativity. The authors produced such unforgettable and classic work which still leads our lives. Among the novels which I read, one is written by Mustansir Hussain Tarar “Peyar Ka Pehla Shehar”. A classic one and is still read by hundreds of thousands of readers in colleges and universities worldwide. The theme of the novel is a Pakistani tourist who visits France and falls in love with a limp girl. Spend some time with her, come back without marrying her. Although he motivated her and inspire her through his personality. Still, I cursed him. So much artistic work must be created.
Poetry is the best medium of creativity
One may use this medium and musically explore his artistic expression. The expression and motivation here are very high. I think in this regard poetry plays a very important role. What in prose is expressed better than what can be expressed in poetry. A very huge statement or verse or prose can’t convey a message as poetry in simple and short words with great artistic manner explore. In this regard, the verification of renowned poets did a lot of work; still, classic poetry is on air.
What is not creative writing?
Academic essays and research papers do not come in this arena. Personal coordination and writing for social media are not considered creative writing. Academic essays are for conveying the message and not the theme. The realm of creative writing is narrow in this respect.
Summary
Creative writing is to express and explore a new idea and create a piece of writing which provoke others’ emotion. As you express your emotion. Bring the reader to get some inspiration from your writing. Start writing but before writing read books. Then give an artistic shape to your writing. Not copy others in any respect, create your piece of work. Woke up your creativity. By doing so your creative writing will boast.
