Have you ever heard the words 'Creative Writing Assignment' and wanted to scream? Does the thought of writing poetry or creating a short story make you want to head for the hills? Ever English student has had to face the dreaded creative writing assignment, and every student has had to deal with writers block.
When writing a short story, one can often stare at a blank sheet of paper for hours on end with no results. Don't be discouraged! Simply start with an idea. Whether it's a theme such as love, a crazy character, a feeling, a chilling setting, or simply a random object, anything can get the creative juices flowing. Once you have an idea to go off of, prewriting can be extremely helpful. This way you are able to briefly sketch out your ideas as well as ensure your writing has direction and fulfills all requirements of the assignment.
Before you finish your writing, make sure you spice it up with figurative language. Even the simplest piece of writing can become sophisticated with a complex metaphor carefully inserted into place.
So, the next time you hear the words 'Creative Writing,' it might not be so bad.
