CREATIVE WRITING
Is any composing that goes beyond ordinary expert, editorial, scholarly,
or specialized types of writing, normally distinguished by an accentuation on
account make, character advancement, and the utilization of abstract tropes or
with different customs of verse and poetics. It is workable for composing, for
example, include stories to be viewed as exploratory writing, despite the fact that
they fall under news coverage, in light of the fact that the substance of highlights
is explicitly centered around account and character improvement.
SENSORY IMAGERY
Includes the utilization of elucidating language to make mental
pictures. In abstract terms, it is a sort of symbolism; the thing that
matters is that tangible symbolism works by drawing in a reader's five
senses. It is an artistic gadget author utilize to draw in a reader's brain on
numerous levels. This investigates the five human detects: sight, sound,
taste, contact, and smell.
1. VISUAL IMAGERY
Engages the sense of sight. Descriptions can be associated to

Visual Imagery. Physical attributes including color, size, shape,
lightness and darkness, shadows, and shade are all part of
visual imagery. The text in italics are some examples of lines
using visual imagery.
• Her phone signaled, immediately setting her teeth on edge. She looked at the
broken screen, saw his name, and slapped the phone back down on her desk.
• Armani stretched across her couch, legs twitching excitedly, and he knew he
must be dreaming of the kittens he tries to capture every morning when he is at
the dirty kitchen.
2. GUSTATORY IMAGERY
GUSTATORY IMAGERY engages the sense of taste. Flavors are the considerations in
gustatory imagery which includes the five basic taste such as sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and
umami—as well as the textures and sensations tied to the act of eating.
• The food tasted good.

• The sweet pondant icing melted on my tongue. The word delightful came to mind.
• Summer has always tasted like hot chocolate to me. His kisses tasted like strawberries under
the sun.
3. AUDITORY IMAGERY
Engages the sense of hearing. Sound devices such as onomatopoeia and
alliteration can help create sounds in writing.
• Erick sat alone at the bench nearest the main door so he wouldn't miss Via. The
room was noisy. The clang of heavy dishes glided from the kitchen. Ice tinkled as
it settled in his water glass. His watch read 9:30. She wasn't coming.
4. OLFACTORY IMAGERY
Engages the sense of smell. Simile is common in using olfactory imagery, because
it lets writers to compare a particular scent to common smells like dirt, grass,
manure, or roses. The use of scents and stinks are common ways to use olfactory
imagery.
• The scent of “latik” when my mother cooks rice cake is really nostalgic to me.
• The street going to their house stinks of manure and the courtyard of urine, the
stairwells stank of moldering wood and rat droppings.
5. TACTILE IMAGERY
Engages the sense of touch. The feel, textures and many sensations a
human being experiences when touching something are associated in tactile
imagery. Differences in temperature is also a part of tactile imagery.
• When we quickly plunge into the cool water, it took our breath away and
raised goose bumps to our arms. We had had been swimming in this pond
since we were kids.
In other references, there is a sixth sense which called
Kinesthetic imagery engages the feeling of movement. This
can be similar to tactile imagery but deals more with full-body
sensations, such as those experienced during exercise. Rushing
water, flapping wings, and pounding hearts are all examples of
kinesthetic imagery.
Questions to Ponder:
Among the sensory imagery, which is easy to use in writing?
Which one is hard for you to use? What could be the barrier
in using sensory imageries well in writing?
THANK YOU AND GODBLESS
