#Creative #Writing (Testimonial)

    Creative Writing (Testimonial)

Creative Writing is a source of great joy. Producing a new form which is our experience in some way is definitely exciting, challenging as well as enticing. You become responsible of what you right. Also, it gives us a sense of ownership to our piece of writing. An Anonymous quote says, “Amateur poets imitate, Master poets steal.” The Creative Writing Class gave this dimension in my way of writing.

I got to explore various genres such as poetry, short story, novella and one-act play. I dreaded writing a novella. It was writing a whole lot of chunk on an unknown canvas. Searching light in the darkness, I tried hard to decipher what I was writing. Because most of the time, the first attempts were senseless. Writing, Re-writing and again Re- re-writing gave at least some sense to it. Not that what I wrote is a masterpiece but a sense of fulfillment that I got after putting the final touches to the pieces of writing will always be cherished.

The most interesting component of the Creative Writing is sitting along with our friends. That itself we most of the time look forward to. Sometimes, our discussions have become the basis of what I wrote in my pieces in one or the other way. Sitting in groups stimulates you to write. Creativity can flow from any direction in any way right? ; )

Nevertheless, my experiences in Creative Writing have been fruitful in its own right. It was never a free reign though.  A pen is mightier than a sword, truly, now we can embark upon a journey with a confidence that even if we fall down in our endeavor, we will get up and move forward towards  the intended goal.
