What is Creative Writing?
Creative writing is a form of
writing where creativity is at the
forefront of its purpose through using
imagination, creativity, and
innovation in order to tell a story
through strong written visuals with
an emotional impact, like in poetry
writing, short story writing, novel
writing, and more.
Creative writing uses senses and
emotions in order to create a
strong visual in the reader’s
mind whereas other forms of
writing typically only leave the
reader with facts and
information instead of emotional
intrigue.
He is roaming around
without any purpose.
I wandered lonely as a
cloud that floats on high
over vales and hills.
Literal Language
It is the language that means just what it
says .
 Figurative language is a type of
communication that does not use a word's
strict or realistic meaning. Common in
comparisons and exaggerations, figurative
language is usually used to add creative
flourish to written or spoken language or
explain a complicated idea.

He felt warm and sticky from the bleeding. Each

time he felt the horn coming. Sometimes the bull
only bumped him with his head. Once the horn
went all the way through him and he felt it go
into the sand.
 Memoir
A memoir is a narrative, written from the perspective of the author,
about an important part of their life. It's often conflated with
autobiography, but there are a few important differences. An
autobiography is also written from the author's perspective, but the
narrative spans their entire life.
A memoir is an account of your experiences related to events
from your personal life or history that you witnessed.
 Memoir
The Unexpected Dangers of Roasting Marshmallows Autumn is like eating a
hot fudge sundae. It smells good, looks good, and tastes even better. Sue, my
roommate, and I had invited a couple friends over for dinner before our
weekly Wednesday get-together in town. The meal was peaceful enough but
then my sweet tooth called, “S’mores!” I could envision a lovely marshmallow,
roasted to perfection, melting together with a chunk of chocolate between
two graham crackers. “Let’s build a campfire and roast marshmallows,” I
said. The girls agreed. It was a perfect fall evening; the clouds were cottony
and the breeze was chilly enough for a sweatshirt. I could hardly wait to get
started.
 What Is Blogging?

The word blog is actually a shortened form of its original name,

"weblog." These weblogs allowed early internet users to "log"
the details of their day in diary-style entries. Blogs often allow
readers to comment, so as they became more common,
communities sprung up around popular blogs.

The content of blogs varies significantly. For example, travel

blogs may feature many pictures with few written passages,
while political blogs may weigh in with wordy takes on the
news of the day. The popularity of YouTube and similar sites
also gave rise to video blogging, or "vlogging."
