Creative Writing is Better Writing

Almost every day, you read words that make sense. They appear on your computer screen, your television, on roadside signs, and product packaging. They’re everywhere, and they all make sense.

But every once in a while, you come across writing that simply dazzles you. Have you responded emotionally to the way a writer uses language? Have you ever put down a novel and remarked how impressed you were with the author’s ability to create realistic characters or craft an original plot? Have you ever read a poem and felt transported to another time or place?

That’s the magic of creativity in writing. It captures and captivates the imagination. It’s transcendent.

Here’s an age-old question: Is creative writing an art or a craft?

Artistically minded writers will say that writing is most definitely an art while those who who think more analytically will claim writing as a skill, a trade, and a business.

My answer is that writing can be either an art or a craft and usually, it’s both. You can approach writing armed with learned skills and an ability to string words together in a sensible manner, or you can approach writing as a purely creative endeavor and call it your art or your passion.

Both approaches work, and either one can lead to good, strong writing. However, even better writing is a hybrid. It’s both an art and a craft, a marriage between skill and creativity.
