writes the script of TV shows? The brilliant comedy
shows, what you watch? The web sees the film, script, novels, great books,
who win lot of prices. Now, it is all about
creative writing. Creative writing as
a genre in which you explore your creativity and
write stories based on it. If you want to be
a creative writer, this course is going to help you develop you as a
creative writer. So the first thing you
need to do is you need to instigate your imagination, your creativity,
your innovation. You need to think
out-of-the-box. Many times you will come across situations and
circumstances that you might feel
attracted towards. Be better solutions you
get to the problems. The more creative and wonderful decision-maker
you'll become. More creative writer
is someone who writes exceptionally well using
his creative mind. So I am a person who
thinks beautifully, logically and systematically. I need to be equally
good person in writing my thought process in
beautiful and correct lines. And that's the recipe of
being a creative writer. It's not similar to what
journalist or academics rate. It has completely
different form of writing. Creative writing,
user's imagination, census, and emotions. You must have seen
while you read a novel or watch a web series. There are different characters. All the characters have
their own interpretation. What is their role, how they're going to act in
that particular segment? It is all decided based
on their own character. And this is where your senses, your emotions, your expedience
comes into picture. How do you bring what you
have experienced in life? All have seen through
interactions, through wizards, through traveling into your life creative
writing, scenario. It is also based on
facts and information. The more facts and information you bring in your
creative writing, the more attracted
people who will become. This is how you develop
yourself as a creative writer.
3. What is Imaginative language ?: Your imagination
is the power which you can use to become
a creative writer. More you imagine, the
better you imagine. And the broader you imagine, the more quality of
content you produce. And that's the beauty
of a creative writer. He has great imaginative powers. He can imagine any kind
of situation based on which he can drape
a story, a fiction. That's the characteristic
of a creative writer. Now what do you mean by
imaginative language? Have you ever heard of anecdote? What? If you are trying to
talk about something, an interesting story about a real incident or pose, right? So this is something which is very common once we talk
with our friends, right? For example, I might
give example of my own dime in nineties
when we used to go to school and how
the education system was in how it is today in 2022. So I am narrating
a story through an example by
giving an anecdote. By telling a story. For example, well, in my time we used to study
through blackboards. The teachers used to
write on boats with the help of a chalk. It was all cognitive learning, which was based on real lifetime experience of sitting in the
class and learning. Once the teacher is
giving the lecture. What is a metaphor? Well, you must have
heard that people give example of something
relating to another aspect. For example, life
is like a highway. He's a shining star. The combat is
enough life as with the highway that
it goes on and on. He's a shining star. So particular person
has been talked about. He's very good in
terms of studies. So I'm giving and relating
be characteristic of that posts with a
different object. So a metaphor as a figure
of speech in which a word or phrase denotes one
kind of object or idea. And it is used in
place of another to suggest likeness or similarity. You must have also
heard about assemblies. Assemblies is a figure
of speech involving comparison of one thing with another, all
completely different. For example, he's
brave as lions. So no one can be line
but the bravery of Lyon, who is not afraid of anyone, can be given as example to
show how brave the person is. Just basically a
method of comparison. You're comparing the bravery of line with the
bravery of person. He must have done
something really great to be compared with lion. There are different
figures of speech which you use to create a
figurative language. Once you read this
kind of language, a different sort of image
gets built up in your mind. You start to imagine things. You start to look into things. So if you're reading a
story where a person is going to A-sharp and
buying groceries. Now, you'll start imagining
that person is really going to be sharp and
buying groceries. In there. He came upon someone. We never met, but was quite
interested to know about him. This is called
imaginative language.
4. Essentials of Copywriting ?: Now how do you become
a creative writer on how do you do
create a writing? Well, writing is all
about being simple, yet effective in the
minds of the reader. You need to make
your writing fluid. And with expressions, you need to make it easy for
the person to understand. But once we talk about
creative writing, you need to focus only
on creative writing. Which means the part which you're rating has to come
with your imagination. Something which you believe
can take the form of a story. Now once you start to learn the process of
creative writing, you need to make you
feel comfortable. In a distraction
free environment. When I say distraction
free environment, it means an environment
free of noise. Distraction in terms
of people gathering, aren't making a lot of fast. So it should be a quiet place. It should be a place
where you can focus on your instincts and
deliver the best. The writing style. You can choose, either your
bedroom or a coffee shop. You can also write
while you are sitting and sipping your
coffee in your garden. You need to find
the strength and weaknesses of where you feel comfortable in
where you do not. You need to challenge yourself
and different genres. So I may be a good
short story writer. But why can't I write a novel? Even if I cannot, why should I not try it once? I should write different
nonfiction stories, I should publish a book as well. That's how I need to
develop my mindset. I need to explore
new types of writing with precision and competency. Becoming a short story writer is the easiest way for you to
become a creative writer. Many times, once we sit alone and we think
about something, we come up with lots of poetry, personal essays, which can again be a form of
creative writing for you. You can also learn
from other writers. The best way to do that
is to read and watch. Other writers speak. Many of them have
their own courses. You can join them, learn their style of writing, how they develop their
own thought process, how they write and
do creative writing. Learn from their experiences, get the tips and tricks. It'll be of a great help. For example, heard one writers say that in order to become
a good creative writer, you need to write something. It could be on any topic, any number of lines. But unless and until
you start writing, you cannot become
a creative writer. That's so simple yet
effective advice that in order to become
a creative writer, I need to start writing first.

life of the person. It helps you learn a lot about the experiences, the
different circumstances, the restrictions,

writing is fiction, that is normal. Short stories. A short story is something
which you imagine. A story which has characters defined by

start feeding, they'll start giving
you feedback. And that's how you're going to become a great creative writer.
