Creative writing——Every interesting story has two sides

Creative writing is a kind of story that can be created by yourself. Whenever you are sad, happy, or excited, you can just find a piece of paper and write your story down. Creative writing is a way to express yourself which shows your inner world. In my point of view, the most interesting point of creative writing is its diversity that caused by each individual, and they are not just “creative”.

Everyone has different life experience, and in the creative writing, writers might choose their friends, family, or lovers to be the prototypes. Furthermore, the stories that happened in the creative writing sometimes are also created based on writers’ daily lives. In this way, the writing would be more vivid than just being created, and make readers feel interesting and sink into the stories.

For example, if you read a story about a boy whose parents have fight with each other everyday; you might be attracted by the dialogs between the family; their behaviours of living lives; the sad atmosphere in their home, or the opinions that narrated by the boy. The reason why people like reading it is that in the “unreal” writing like this, people can also find some part of plots they are familiar with; maybe a character, a room, or even an old sofa would reminds them of someone or some where that have appeared in their lives. Moreover, besides of the realistic elements, the creative writing mixes the real and the unreal together, and makes people visualise images that do not even exist. People like that kind of feeling, because that would complete the blank part in their lives and that do interest them a lot.

I have read a lot of creative writings like fictions before. I like the comprehensive relationship between characters; the different background and history of different families, and the beautiful stories happened in a unreal world that created by people . All of those things are the ingredients of the writing, and each of them has its own special taste. Therefore, in my own creative writing, I added some emotional descriptions intensively to make my story resonate with readers. For instance, at the end of my writing, I let Patrick said his feeling about Joanna out by himself, and used metaphor to describe Joanna’s position in his heart in order to inspire readers’ emotion and interest them. During the dialog, I chose to use memory to represent Joanna and Patrick’s past . It is because I knew people like recalling things that happened in their lives, and the description of those good old days would give them a kind of nostalgic feeling, and even think about themselves. In this way, the readers would sink into the story, and have interest to read what happened after. On the other hand, I changed my word more lyric, beautified the environment of the island the protagonists lived, and gave readers some space to imagine by creating the endless love between Joanna and Patrick.

All in all, the creative writing is interesting is not only because of some strange or creative parts, but also the feeling behind it that can be connected with the real world.The writers need to hide this kind of feeling with certain plots and create a world that all the readers have the interest to live in.
