CREATIVE WRITING
Creative Writing is a process. You begin with a thought, a dream, an ambition. You allow your mind to wander across oceans, caverns, desert plains and gather images, feelings, sights and smells. You add your discoveries into your personal repertoire and let a different aspect of your mind free. All of a sudden your fingers are flying across the page, defying gravity and defying all sense of order. You finish, and the result is awful. You cant believe you wrote what you just wrote. All of those grammer classes...literature interpretation...beginning creative writing...you have suffered through them and done your absolute best in the time alloted to produce masterpieces of art that you hope can qualify for the title of "Creative Writing". So, you take your awful manuscript and you rip it apart with a fine-toothed comb, and maybe even a switchblade. You make it better. No, you make it fantastic. You look at it, with tired, somewhat feverish eyes, and again you cannot believe you wrote what you just wrote. It's absolutely phenomenal. Did you know that the analogy would fit perfectly, right where you put it? Were you really that clever? You can't believe your luck. In your lifetime, you have achieved what others only dream of achieving. You have created a masterpiece. It took blood, sweat, tears and chocolate, but you succeeded. And now you are left with one impressive piece of creative writing.
