What’s creative writing?
Let’s do some differentiation.
Writing is writing,
nothing else;
Creative is to create,
Delication to decloration and exaduation.
What’s creative writing?
Let’s think it’s an art.
Ray Bradbury expressed true writing as something that is written with the flow of thought - moving from your head, to your hands, to your keyboard, to your computer screen - writing without stoping to think about it first is the essence of true writing. It is writing in the moment.
Creative writing on the other hand is the opposite. Writing done with planning and contemplation, so that to know what words to put down before actually putting them down.
In this post, I have typed these words in the moment…in the essence of true writing. I try to do this with all my responses to other people’s posts so that the purity of my words are in their most sincere meaning at the moment of writing.
