How to be a Creative Writter?5 Techniques to be a Good Writter..

For those of you who are looking for more long-term writing strategies, here are some additional ideas.
Keep a notebook. To R. V. ...
Write on a regular, daily basis. Sit down and compose sentences for a couple of hours every day — even if you don't feel like it.
Collect stories from everyone you meet.
Writing short stories means beginning as close to the climax as possible — everything else is a distraction. A novel can take a more meandering path, but should still start with a scene that sets the tone for the whole book.
A short story conserves characters and scenes, typically by focusing on just one conflict, and drives towards a sudden, unexpected revelation. Go easy on the exposition and talky backstory — your reader doesn’t need to know everything that you know about your characters.

1.Think About Your Reader
With creative writing, as with any kind of writing, your reader is your most important consideration. You need to know and understand whom you’re writing for if you’re to do a good job of keeping them interested. Let’s think for a moment about the kind of person
2.Editing
Once you’ve written a first draft, read through it and think about whether the order of your points is optimal and whether what you’ve written actually makes sense. It’s easy in the age of computers to chop and change – you can simply copy and paste part of your essay into another part where it might fit better, and then make minor changes to your wording so that it flows. After you’ve finished editing, have a final read through and check that you’re happy with the wording. Don’t forget to proofread to ensure that your spelling and grammar is impeccable!
3.Keep Your Goals Acheivable
What are your goals? Figuring out what you want to do with your writing before you begin is a crucial step in the process. Following that – are those goals achievable? Are you planning to submit a poem or short story to a literary magazine or a competition? If you are, then there are probably submission deadlines that you need to meet, which should be reflected in how you plan out your writing process. Do you have a length that you are looking to meet? If you’re writing a mystery novel, it might be helpful to know whether the word or page count stacks up against the expectations of the readers (and publishers).
4.Dont Wait For Inspiration
Inspiration doesn’t typically strike if you’re not already working for it. So how do you go about welcoming inspiration into your writing life? One way to start is by noticing the things around you: keeping an ear out for interesting words or phrases, engaging in the delicate art of people-watching, and reading broadly – inspiration can be found everywhere, ranging from a subway car to an old newspaper.

5.Finally Record Your Ideas
Creative writers swear by having a notebook with them at all times, ready to jot down any ideas that suddenly spring to mind. You can adopt the same principle for your essay-writing, because you never when the inspiration might strike.
