Uncreative Writing.

We're doing a creative writing standard at school and I can't help but think, "Is it really creative if we get told what to write about?"

I mean I get directed writing that's easy. Give me a topic and turn me loose. But Creative writing is meant to start from a single idea. Just something that floats into the head and slowly transforms into something entirely new. Be it incredibly beautiful of something sinister. Be it an expression of ultimate joy or a way of showing humans at they're darkest and depressed. It's not meant to be directed. It's meant to be let loose and shown to the world.

It's something I don't think many people grasp. When someone says create. I don't ask them to give me something to create. I think for myself. I think that it would much better represent your creative writing skill if someone said. "Write me something. Anything you want. One condition it has to be amazing."

If someone told me that. Then I would believe the results are creative.

Post 1 complete.
Now to think of something cool to write on blog tonight.

I'm Out. Seya.
