Creative Writing – It’s All About Experience!

For all those of you who think that writing is not your cup of tea, here’s an opportunity for you to question that statement. Creative writing is not just about the mind, it is something that comes from the heart as well. When you narrate stories that get people’s ears glued to them, these are the stories you have actually experienced, lived and felt. Similarly, writing about something you have experienced is way easier to portray rather than writing something you are totally new to.
Calling oneself an excellent writer wouldn’t be right as that would leave no space for ones improvement. What would surprise you would be the hundreds and thousands of situations you put yourself through everyday have several stories that are worth penning down.
When things are different, that is when they click. For instance, you would definitely not find anything amusing about a housewife getting her kids ready for school while her husband is off to work but the same story would get so amusing if the husband got the kids ready at home while the wife is off to work.
Try writing a diary and you will know there’s so much to write in a day. Out of all the things you write, you would find so many incidents worth communicating. Bringing creativity to your words is definitely not a cake walk but bringing in experience to your words is definitely not that difficult. Sometimes it really works to pave the path to creativity.
You should never confine your thoughts to any boundaries, for instance, if there’s something embarrassing you went through, try sharing it, you may just end up adding humor to your content. Similarly, never shy away from being bold. If your copy requires sex appeal, you must use it.
Sometimes you could learn environmental description when you expose yourself to various forms of nature. Traveling could always take you places. See new places, learn new things, study different people, interact with them and this would definitely bring about a change in you. This change would very well be reflected in your words. The key is the more you know, the more is there to share.
Sometimes when you experience things you had always had biased opinions about may bring about positive change in your opinions and thereby can help in breaking a stereotype. For instance, when everyone says the darkroom always has ghosts, you would be the different one saying, the darkroom has so many corners unexplored worth visiting. This would make you stand out.
So, expose yourself, try out new things and add on to your uniqueness!
