Creative Writing

Creative writing, as a subject, primarily deals with the principles and techniques used in writing non-technical forms of literature such as poems, novels, and essays.

Applications

Writing poetry is one of the main forms of creative writing. In taking creative writing classes, you’ll typically be taught the different types of poetry (those that tell stories, those that chronicle complicated adventures, those that explore the poet’s thoughts), standard poetry structures (how many lines should be in each stanza, how many syllables should be at each line, at which part should rhymes be introduced), and the different ways poetry can be used including how to tackle important social issues.

Screenplays

Screenplays contain the dialogues that actors in a movie are required to deliver as well as other miscellaneous instructions that they are required to follow while performing a scene. When making screenplays, students are typically taught how to come up with ideas for a story, how to introduce characters, how to build up tension, and how to effectively end it. Also included are guidelines on how to write acting instructions on the script, factors that need to be considered when working on a script such as budget and time, and how to ensure that your script will sell once it’s done.

Songwriting

People typically see songwriting as something that comes naturally — the result of a sudden stroke of genius that eventually leads to bestselling albums and sold-out concerts. In reality, songwriters typically follow a predetermined process (writing the song, copyrighting it, submitting it to music distributors, promoting it across media platforms) when writing songs. These, as well as industry standards that songwriters are expected to live up to, are some of the things that you may learn in a creative writing class.

Notable People

Max Martin – Max Martin is a songwriter and record producer noted for producing a long string of hit songs from the 90s up to the present time including 58 Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and 22 Number 1s. Some of his most popular and recent works include Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl,” Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off,” Ariana Grande’s “Problem,” Jessie J.’s “Domino,” Adele’s “Send My Love to Your New Lover,” Avril Lavigne’s “What the Hell” and Pink’s “So What” among several others.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is a hugely successful pop star who is known for either writing or co-writing the songs on her albums. She started writing songs at the age of twelve and won her first Nashville Songwriters Association’s Songwriter of the Year award at the age of eighteen. She eventually collected six more of the same award during the course of her career in addition to 10 Grammy Awards, 19 American Music Awards, 22 Billboard Music Awards, 11 Country Music Association Awards, 8 Academy of Country Music Awards, 10 People’s Choice Awards, and 25 Teen Choice Awards.

James Cameron

James Cameron is a critically-acclaimed screenwriter and director who wrote and directed two of the highest grossing films of all time: Titanic and Avatar. Aside from the two blockbuster movies, he’s also behind other iconic Hollywood films such as the Terminator, Aliens, and Rambo.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare is one of the most famous poets and playwrights (people who write the scripts for plays) of all time. Although the exact number of copies his works have sold is not clear, he is often considered to be the one the bestselling writers of all time. His extensive list of works include “38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses.”

Juan Miguel Severo

Juan Miguel Severo i s a spoken word artist who became famous after his performance of his poems “Ang Huling Tula na Isusulat Ko Para Sa’Yo” and “Naniniwala Ako” became viral online. Since then, he has branched out to acting in television dramas (as Rico in “On the Wings of Love”) and stageplays (“Hintayan ng Langit”).

8 Best Creative Writing Courses in The Philippines

Creative writing is one of the most exciting as well as rewarding skills that has the power to execute an idea and transform one’s moods or notions in one read. but, it requires a great understanding of the subject to dig into the people’s hearts and make them feel your words. there are a number of creative writing courses in the philippines you can opt for in order to master creative writing skills..

Have you ever considered creating a story using your imagination while it’s raining at a resort, after reading a book, or watching a movie?  Yes, a majority of us did and several of us also had bought a pen and paper to write. However, as soon as you started writing, you realized the story doesn’t flow as fascinatingly as it did in your head.

You start to wonder what you’re missing when you see the grammar, and sentences in the text are not flowing smoothly. The missing part is your creative writing skills. Your writing abilities prevent you from reproducing the amazing effect that your mind has so eloquently imagined in that story.

To arouse a reader’s emotions, a writer must use his imagination and inspiration and master writing skills. It could be fiction, nonfiction, a movie script, or a poem, creating writing skills helps in developing your writing and conversational skills. Being able to speak and write in poetic language has the power to win or break hearts.

Learning creative writing also improves your ability to express yourself and sharpen your mind.  If you are one of those who have always wanted to make the most of your writing skills then taking a course on creative writing is the best option to consider.

What is Creative Writing?

Many people believe that writing is a talent, one either possesses or does not possess. To an extent, this is true, since some people are naturally talented and others learn and master their abilities. The desire to write creatively starts within and grows into something much more attractive and knowledgeable. 

It is such a beautiful and bountiful world, allowing a creative brain to make the most of its creativity, which in turn would assist in the development of knowledge.  The world’s best plays, books, articles, fiction, drama, and non-fiction are merely examples of authors’ and playwrights’ creative writing skills.  

A skilled writer may uniquely reveal life’s realities. Through them, the truth of life can be communicated clearly, and straightforwardly. A creative writer once came up with the phrase saying  “An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away” which would never have achieved fame if it had just been put down as Eat Fruit every day.

By combining the phrase with Doctor, he implied a dignified manner of eating apples. Creative writing understands and promotes hard truths in a style that can inspire learners and readers. To become a successful writer, one must have more than talent. Talent to be able to write.

There are many brilliant writers in the field but very few have the desire to work on their craft. And some individuals aspire to become authors and put in time and effort to improve their writing skills.  

Creative Writing in Psychology

Creative writing is frequently used in psychology as a form of treatment that fosters self-expression develops self-awareness and produces literary output. Creative writing can be very distinctive and experimental. Several creative writing approaches are used to make the writing process more efficient. 

Importance of Creative Writing Course

Creative writing has many benefits; if you are interested in creative writing, it may relate to you:.

• It’s a great way to express yourself, you can even solve problems with creative writing just by asking questions and starting to come up with solutions.  
• The more you read,  the more creatively you can write. It helps in understanding.    
• Creative writing can serve as an anti-depressant for many. Develop personality, identity, and way of thinking.  
• Creative writing helps you write professional writing, one of the most in-demand skills in the world today.   
• Creative writing skills can create a variety of career opportunities where you can work as a content writer, editor, or copywriter for MNCs and SMEs, and NGOs.

  Types of Creative Writers

• Authors:  They write novels, stories, articles, short stories, columns, and essays.  
• Ghost Writers : They write everything from novels, stories, articles, and blogs, but to individuals, brands, and organizations. They do not take credit for their work.  
• Content writers: They write specifically on a topic, subject idea, or business. They charge their work based on niche.  
• Freelancers write blogs, articles, and stories and charge on an assignment basis.
• Copywriters specifically write for marketing campaigns, slogans, and other marketing-related assignments for companies.  
• Scriptwriters specialized in writing plays, and film scripts and work for theatres, movies, series, etc.  

Techniques of Creative Writing 

Follow other writers of your niche: .

By merely reading the work of other writers of similar niches, you can get smarter at your writing. That’s because reading others’ work exposes you to various writing approaches and inspires you to write new things. There are many books, blogs, and videos available for creative writing like fiction, nonfiction, novels, poetry, and so on.  

Go Wild with Your Imagination:

Creative writing is all based on imagination, so leave your horses loose and run through a world of no rules. And start creating an engaging story in a distinctive setting and with believable people playing at your fingertips. You can even create a language also like in the famous Sci-fi movie Avatar in 2009. The Navi language was fictionally created. You can also give try on creating a language that people would believe existed.  

Recognize Yourself as a Writer:

The best creative writers have distinctive writing styles . Research other creative writers for inspiration to create your writing style. Your writing style should be appropriate for the niche in which you want to specialize like comics, novels, and so on.  

Why Do You Wish to Publish Your Work? Ask Yourself:

You write because writing is your passion, it’s the love of your life to write and let your audience read and praise your creativity. So publishing your creative piece of work is for your audience. You must be attentive to your reader’s preferences so you can compose your work that resonates with your reader.  Authors of best-selling books closely analyze their reader’s interests by using several analytical tools. 

Engage Your Reader from the Start to the End:

To keep your reader interested throughout your work, you must hook them from the beginning itself.  They won’t continue reading the story if the first few pages bore them, they’ll just stop reading after that.

Difference Between Technical  Writing and Creative Writing

Academic Writing is less imaginative, more factual, and standardized.  The writer has to uphold the gathered data and facts. Academic writing demands citing from trusted sources to support the hypothesis. Academic writing is done mostly for academic content. On the other hand, Creative writing is informal and personal.

There are no established guidelines to follow Unlike Academic writing, the writer does not have to cite any source nor show any supporting evidence. The writer is free to express his imagination provided with unique content that grabs a reader’s attention from start to end.  Stories, Dramas, fiction, Podcasts, poetry, and journals are all great examples of creative writing.
