Description

Creative writing is an expressive form of writing that transcends traditional academic, technical, or professional formats. It spans various genres and styles, including fiction, poetry, prose, playwriting, and journalistic writing. Though its definition can be broad, creative writing is primarily recognized by its focus on narrative craft, emphasizing elements like character development, plot, and imaginative storytelling. This type of writing is not bound by conventional rules and embraces originality in its structure and content.

In educational settings, creative writing is often categorized into fiction, poetry, and scriptwriting, encouraging students to develop their own unique voices, free from predefined structures.
