CREATIVE WRITING SKILLS CLS 1323

What is Creative Writing? • Creative writing is writing that involves the imagination & invention in form & content. • It means fiction, poetry, and drama. • The fiction may be long or short, the poetry may take many different forms, and the drama may be for the stage or the movies or television. • Uses made-up materials of one kind or another.

Why do we write? • not only to convey facts or info • mainly to please the reader or audience aesthetically by playing with the imagination • Some light & superficially entertaining - some very profound & can reveal great truths about the human condition (human nature & experience).

Types of writing • Fiction & Non Fiction • Technical & Popular (Popular culture) • Formal & Informal • Definition? • Examples?

Fiction vs. Non Fiction • A literary work is often a blend of fact & fiction. • A literal account of someone’s adventures in Vietnam is not a novel, it is a memoir or part of an autobiography. • The same author might be moved by certain experiences in Vietnam to create a work of fiction. In such works the facts can be adjusted to improve the story. • When writing fictionalised stories, the writer CANderive ideas from real life although real life stories come under the category of non-fiction.

Fiction vs. Non Fiction (Cont…) • Writers draw heavily on their own experiences. • Young writers are often advised to make use of the materials with which they are most familiar – and violate the truth in favor of a higher truth.

Who are the writers? • Objective writers describe in a more scientific manner. • Subjective writers depend more on the thoughts and feelings of their characters.

creative writing skills

Creative writing skills are simply things which you need to know, things which you need to learn to have in your personality. if you don’t have these skills, i won’t say that you don’t have a chance of succeeding, but of course it becomes a lot harder. – powerpoint ppt presentation.

• Silly question, I know. But do you know that there are a certain set of skills which you need to master if you want to be an expert in it?
• And the questions that comes out of this are what are these skills? And are they important?
• Read on for the first question. As for the second, of course you already know that the answer is going to be
• To get what creative writing skills actually mean for your writing lets get the big picture first (the definition of creative writing skills).
• Creative writing skills are simply things which you need to know, things which you need to learn to have in your personality. If you dont have these skills, I wont say that you dont have a chance of succeeding, but of course it becomes a lot harder.
• Some people can get away with not having these creative writing skills and still being successful enough. But exceptions only prove the rule if you want to be a pro creative writer, you need to have them, my friend.
• The good news for those of us who do want to learn them is that theyre easy to master. Theyre easy to grasp. And theyre even easy to remember for a long time.
• Talent  What, you dont have talent? I dont think so. Everyone has talent, whether they realize it or not. After all, what is talent if not passion for ones craft? Is talent in-born or is it something we have to learn? I believe both. Let me tell you my own story I was lucky enough to be born with talent. What does this mean? Means I was lucky enough to already have a passion for writing. But that doesnt mean that I didnt have to work hard to improve my writing. I did. Everyone has to. If you dont believe that you have in-born talent, just keep writing. Everyone, even a terrible writer (means all of us) can improve their writing easily.
• Persistence  The old debate skills vs. talent comes to mind. Which is essential? Both again. So what does skills mean? Persistence. Determination. Desire to succeed. A creative writer must have persistence. Success is, after all, merely the absence of failure. If it doesnt work the first time, no matter. Second time, no matter. Third time, no matter. Fourth time, no matter
• Patience  Theres no place for get-rich-quick-seekers in this world, and likewise, if you have a mentality for get-published-quick or get-success-quick it wont work. Period. One has to be patient in writing, goes without saying.
• Ability to face criticism  I know, criticism isnt great to hear. Its so nice to hear praise, but when you hear criticism instead, you get all hot and afraid at the same time. But criticism is good. Its actually great for writers, especially if it gives constructive advice. But once in a while, trolls arrive and harsh criticism is thrown on you. Instead of hitting back, the best thing to do is to face it. So you must have the ability to face criticism.
• Imagination  Imagination is so helpful in writing that even I would sing its praises for days, they still wouldnt help. Have trouble conjuring ideas? You need to have a bright imagination. You need to imagine you need to ignore the naysayers. The well known advice is to think outside the box. Just apply it.
• Technical ability  Of all the six creative writing skills, this is quite the easiest. I know what youre thinking whats technical ability doing in a post about creative writing skills? Because you need to have some basic ability if you want to write. Pen and paper may continue to work well but its good to also learn the basics of typing (touch typing), web publishing and more.

Language plays a pivotal role in dystopian narrative, which gained enormous significance in the twentieth century through a boom in literary dystopias and other texts of speculative fiction. Language as an instrumental tool of social engineering becomes a functional means either manipulatively to suppress the fictional characters or to resist against the repressive power in the alternative world projections of literary dystopias. It is what shapes the formation of a certain ideological mindset granting or denying the character the opportunity to speak his/her mind. In this context, the aim of this article is to discuss the crucial role of language in dystopian fiction by analyzing manipulative discourse in George Orwell's Animal Farm.
