    Creative writing is most definitely a
    skill.

    Like most skills, it is learned.


    Think of a friendship, a car you own,
    or even a plant. All need fine tuning
    and care to flourish and grow.

    The creative mind works in much the


    same way.
    What are some ways in which
    your creative writing has been
    enhanced throughout this
    program?
    GETTING STARTED

    Depending on what
    creative writing style
    you are focusing on,
    (stories, poetry,
    narratives, fictional
    biographies, plays etc.)
    each type of writing
    PROMPTS
    Sometimes, On the other
    students need hand,
    something as sometimes you
    simple as a might need a bit
    prompt. A more.
    prompt is an
    idea to get you
    started and can
    be a great help. http://brucevanpatter.com/funs
    Some ideas
    (329 of them
    actually) can be
    found here:
    3,2,1 MIX IT UP 2,3,1

    Remember that any


    of these ideas can be
    used in any order.
    For example, you can
    give only the ending
    and have them come
    up with the
    beginning. Or just
    give the middle and
    YOU CAN DO IT!

    Maybe a lot of you have tried


    to write creatively but feel
    discouraged.
    Maybe something is holding
    you
    back. Here are 3 things to
    keep in
    mind the next time you
    STEP 1. START SMALL

    Don’t sit down try to write a


    novel. Start small. Pick a
    small project like a haiku or
    short article. If not, maybe
    just think about how to
    formulate ideas. Allow
    yourself to get used to the
    writing process, not
    necessarily the writing itself.
    STEP 2. Nourish = Flourish

    Like any other creative skill,


    writing needs to become a
    habit so that it might reach
    it’s full potential. You might
    start by working on this twice
    a week for 15 minutes and
    then increasing the time after
    STEP 3: Experiment. Play.
    Enjoy!
    Remember that creative writing
    is
    about exploring new characters,
    themes, worlds, and ways of
    expressing yourself. If you
    get bored of writing
    poems, don’t forget that there
    are millions of other types of
    writing to try! Try new
    formats and styles.
    The more
    your
    write,
    and the
    more
    ways you
    choose to
    write, the
    richer
    your
    creative
