Creative writing is writing that
expresses the writer’s thoughts and
feelings in an imaginative, often
unique, and poetic way.
Creative writing is guided more
by the writer’s need to express
feelings and ideas than by restrictive
demands of factual and logical
progression.

people.

charged and the reader cares
what happens to the

adjectives or adverbs, no
flabby cliches
