Allowing Your Writing to be Creative

By Ronald Wilson


Writing creatively may be a way to express yourself, release your creativeness, or explore the unknown. It is a way for you to let go of the real world, and leave the stresses of the world behind as you move into a world where you control everything-- the characters, the events, the emotions, the consequences.

Not surprising its quite liberating being able to create your own world on your own terms, and it is no wonder so many people are starting writing creatively, even when it is just a leisure activity.

For the same reasons that people enjoy reading a good book, they enjoy writing. It is peaceful and de-stressing to move away from reality and into the world of another character - taking on their adventure and following their journey along its imaginary path.

Numerous people feel shy about their writing however, and do not want other people to read it incase it is rejected by them. Nobody else can determine what is good enough and what is not. An excellent story structure and a great deal of practice are the basis to all good pieces of writing.

The more you write artistically the more relaxed you become in what you can develop. The opportunities are endless and you may surprise yourself and others by the fictitious worlds that come out of you and into a story.

The most important thing to do when writing from the imagination is to let go and write without editing. Once you begin criticising and judging your work you begin to stifle creativity and reduce your chances of producing quality work.

Obtain a notebook with a locking device on it, or password-protect your documents on your computer. This frequently helps people to relax and stop fretting about people reading their writing before it has been edited.

In this way you can relax into your imagination and express yourself without restraint. The most effective ideas come from this frame of mind. It is only once you have done this, that you should go back and sculpt your work into a work of art.
