Does ‘creative’ writing have to be descriptive?


Does it? I’m trying to write a creative writing piece based on a battle of the bands theme, and the story of a kids dream. But im not sure where i could include a lot of description in it. What do people means by creative? Imaginative, descriptive, or just a lot of use of complex sentence and paragraph structure with extended vocab?

Do most writers take creative writing courses at some point in their lives?


I cannot imagine that they’d be self-taught… good writing style is learned, and not automatically developed.

Does anyone have some random compliments?


In the story I’m writing for NaNoWriMo, I have a character who constantly compliments people… but I’m having a hard time coming up with a million things to say.
They can be generic, along the lines of “Oh, that’s your real name? How pretty” or something o.O

Tips& ideas for writing a novel?


Can someone give me any ideas for what to write a novel on. I’m currently stuck on two categories I would like the novel to be on; murders, stuff like that and stuff like hurricane survival or tsunami. Stuff that will make the readers feel a tear to their eyes. And something gripping.
Any other ideas would be appreciated.
