All writing is creative, including the writing you do for school, internet posts to social media, and text/email messages. Where there was a blank pageāvirtual or otherwiseāand you fill it with your words, you have, in fact, drawn on your intellectual resources to create patterns of meaning with those words.
āCreative writing,ā however, generally refers to poetry, fiction, drama, and some forms of non-fictionāmemoirs and narratives that use the techniques of story-telling.
We will focus on understanding how form and meaning work together and on understanding the types and complexities of each genreānotably, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama, and cross-genresāso each student can begin to develop their unique, individual voice.
