All About Creative Writing

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. Many years went by and I felt incomplete. 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. No sooner had I written a couple of pages did I start to feel happier. I felt complete.

I decided to create a website Creative Writing Help to help people just like me re-discover the joy of writing. I find that writing is a great way to blow off steam. If life has you stressed out, writing is a great way to help you cope.. As soon as I sit down at my computer, I use my life experience to help weave wonderful stories and plots. Right now I’m looking for a publisher to get one of my stories published. This wouldn’t have happened had I give up writing.

Thanks and happy writing.
