Seven Secrets of Highly Creative Writers
Maximize Your Creative Writing Potential
The Lifewriting approach encourages a high level of creative output, focusing on generating and completing multiple works rather than fixating on perfecting a single story for years.
Overcoming Creative Roadblocks
Many students express concerns about generating fresh ideas, often assuming that their ideas are only suitable for novel-length works. However, the core of any idea doesn’t dictate its length?"it's how you develop it that does. You can explore an event like the Civil War within a single page or across numerous volumes, depending on your approach and skill.
A Cautionary Tale
In college, I met a woman working on a short story. When I checked in a few weeks later, it had turned into a novella. Months later, it had grown into a novel, and eventually, she considered it a trilogy. Years passed, and on a visit, she admitted she’d grown tired and set it aside. Sadly, she faced a common form of writer's block: the endless cycle of writing without finishing to avoid potential rejection.
The Joy of Short Stories
Short stories offer a solution. They utilize the same skills as novels but allow you to complete multiple works in the time it might take to write one novel. This frequent practice helps identify technical and psychological barriers, while the faster pace ensures you’re not overly attached to any single idea.
Generating Ideas: Seven Strategies
1. Dream Diary: Keep a recorder by your bedside. Record your dreams and transcribe them in the morning for fresh inspiration.
2. Newspaper Sparks: Explore newspapers for unique or intriguing stories. Imagine living those experiences and crafting tales around them.
3. Books & Movies: Mix endings and beginnings of different films or improve unsatisfying book conclusions. This is excellent practice.
4. Modern Fairy Tales: Rewrite classic fairy tales in modern settings. Enjoy the process as a creative exercise.
5. Family Stories: During family gatherings, ask older relatives about their youth for rich story material.
6. Observing Children: Visit a playground to observe children’s interactions. Their daily adventures hold countless stories.
7. Personal Reflection: Reflect on your own life experiences?"the milestones, challenges, and achievements that shape your unique perspective.
Endless Possibilities
Embrace the journey of crafting stories as a series of steps toward your goals, rather than a do-or-die scenario. Enjoy the process and keep writing!
