Every day humans experience something interesting, something new and something they’ve never seen before. We learn new words, engage in different activities and experience various events which become ideas for new stories that we cook up every now and then. Creative writing is developed from observing and experiencing every facet of our lives. We see the sunset and we express that moment’s beauty in mere words through poetry and that’s the thing about creative writing. It helps you express the beauty of nature, the life of a common man, the hardships of life and whatnot. These are the things humans couldn’t have showcased if it weren’t for stories, books, poetry etc. To put it simply, creative writing helps to put things in perspective and helps us preserve humanity. It is an art form that helps us discover and explore our own curiosities about life.
The importance of creative writing lies in a very simple fact, that is, a writer paints and preserves his explorations of the world in what they create as stories. If you have ever caught yourself imagining why the sky is blue or cooking up stories to tell your friends, then my friend it’s high time that you scratch that itch of learning the why’s and how’s of creative writing. Here’s why you should go for creative writing training RIGHT NOW!
1. It helps you put your heart out on a sheet of paper:
If you don’t know this, creative writers wear their feelings on their sleeves. Creative writing is a way of improving self-expression. It helps you become a more effective communicator because finding the right word to fit into your story or poem is something you can’t take lightly which is also the case with you in everyday conversations. Improvement in writing skills thus leads to stronger communication. It helps you express your feelings in a way no one can.
2. It helps you answer your own curiosities and improves thinking skills:
Most creative writers can be regarded as very inquisitive individuals. No one has as much amount of curiosity about the world and the parts of the world as creative writers do. Why, when, where and how are some questions that pop in their heads about any and everything. This leads them to think more, observe more and later present their thoughts and their understanding of the world onto a sheet of paper. Learning how to write is nothing but learning how to think.
3. It helps in building confidence and reaching out to the masses:
When we start writing creatively we develop our own voice, we have our own way of perceiving different things. These perceptions might not always be right but they allow us to build our own opinions and express them more confidently. We learn to explore and present our views about various topics, characters, philosophies and theories to a large group audience. This allows us to impact a big part of society by our words, our stories and our work and reach out to a group of people who understand us.
