creative writing questions and answers
;Writing Fiction
I used to think that I am destined to become a scientist. As I enjoyed discovering scientific pursuits, I am completely living by the fact that everything in this world can be explained by science. I am in the bliss of realization that not everyone else can understand what I can, unless I will discover it for the sake of humanity.
Voila! But look where I am now? I am here facing the computer, making articles for the Internet, posting in a blog, and fortunately expressing my self through a keyboard and a computer monitor (a pen and a paper seemed to be obsolete here). Writing for my own sake, and for the humanity’s maybe, is a tedious but fulfilling job. And I can still say that I am fortunate because I have gone through all of these.
What’s with the writing?
Writers often than not settle for a kind of self-expression that is fulfilling to them. In the first place this what writing is all about—freedom of expression. As for me, I am more comfortable in the method of writing that is more personal, interesting, and creative enough to pull the attention of my readers.
But honestly, let me tell you that am not well-rounded enough of all these stuff and of my style in writing, rather put it; do I have a my own distinct style in writing? You judge by having a comment on this post.
What I meant by the phrase “not well-rounded enough” is that, I am a bit hesitant to try new things because I am usually carried away by disappointments from people. You say enough of this immaturity blah blahs. I agree. By now, old lessons should have been learned. And one final thing though: Creative Writing gets me in to the craft.
Let’s get to the point.
As defined by wikipedia, Creative Writing is considered to be any writing, fiction, poetry, or non-fiction, that goes outside the bounds of normal professional, journalistic, academic, and technical forms of literature. Works which fall into this category include novels, epics, short stories, and poems.
Why choose this kind of medium?
With all the political, social, and economic fuss unfolding the whole earth everyday, would you not want to divert your attention into the distinct point of view of J.K.Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien, or Stephenie Meyer? I know a lot of us has gone mad if not crazy to make this world a peaceful and a happy place to live. You count me in, and I assure you I’d rather float with the air than catch below all the dust that it carries.
To divert our attention means, we are opening new frontiers of our being human and eventually refreshing our minds so that the next time we face the problem we can confront it with a new knowledge and understanding; that we are only humans, hesitant and afraid of our own world but brave enough to overcome it. As Edgar Allan Poe, the most regarded writer in American literature said “all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”
So the next time you are awfully confronted by the world, I recommend you to write your thoughts and ideas, as creatively as you can—you wouldn’t know, you might be penning the next classic story ever told. And this will eventually help you overcome your self and teach you lessons that can only be found as you go along with your chosen medium of expression.
Where to write your Creative Writing piece?
The Internet is a good medium to flaunt what a good writer you are. But as you delve into it, you will find a vast source of knowledge and I tell you it will hit you in the face big time. This is otherwise known as information overload. But what if all this information is capsulized and sprinkled with creative contexts and eventually packaged for the readers to feast on? This is interesting.
Now it is really your chance to try the mainstream Internet. There are numerous sites in cyber space that will lead you in posting your articles, write-ups and creative blobs. And by the way, you can earn extra bucks if you’re dedicated enough to maintain what you have started.
Perhaps, you can grab the technology and set aside that you are destined to become a scientist, like what I did.
Postscript:
In my future posts, you will find some real "stuff" about creative writing. Best regards!:-)

I am writing a Historical Fiction taking place when Rome was in transition from Paganism to Catholicism and I have the story line lied out, but I don’t know where to start with research … I have so many books to read through … I need to read up on the Roman gods, architecture, etc … but how do I condense all this information so it is readily available when I am writing?
Tips would be so helpful.
Thank You so much! - Happy Bunny

I love writing fan fiction. It has been one of my obsessions for about 3 months now, but i realised the other day that i would just about die of shame if any of my friends or family found out that i read/write it. Does anyone else feel like this? Or am i just being oversensitive about what other people would think?
(I dont mean if they read what i wrote, just the fact that they would know i wrote it would be humiliating.) - Tilly T

Any URL or links, on where I could get detailed information on some places that I can’t visit… yet? I’ve been reading some magazines and travel books as well about some places like Germany, Russia, and some parts of Paris. But I mostly see the good ones, I want to see some of the bad places too. (Of course, in my fiction I’ll be taking liberties, but nevertheless, I want it to be realistic) Thank you. - Duskendale
