My Reflection


                 “Why Do I Need to Be in the Creative Writing Class?”

                                                 '' Writing is the painting of the voice.''
                                                                                                    -voltaire


     Writing is a skill and gift from our  creator. All writing involves creativity since it is based and made form our own perspective. Creative writing give us the opportunity to express our inner thoughts. Creative writing serves as a tool for communication or as a sort of passive income. It serves as a tool of communication in a way that, we are writing  to express our thoughts and ideas toward something or we use it to inform somebody about a particular ideas and thoughts that we would like to share. On the other hand, it somehow can be a sort of a passive income because if you are skilled enough to make a masterpice in writing you can publish and sell it to the public.

     Creative writing is quite a difficult job but wonderful at the same time. In creative writing we can turn our imagination into reality. We  can connect our past  in to the future. Creative writing allows us to step out in our comfort zone. What creative writing does to me is that it makes my mind work deeper to write something  that I couldn't make in a usual way. It gives me more freedom to write in a any form it could be in poetry, fiction or non-fiction.

     For me, Creative writing is one way to express our thoughts, emotion, and ideas that sometimes we couldn't express verbally. Creative writing is more effective if writing is your habit and you have  a passion for it. You write because you love to do it not just  because you are oblige to write for the seek of passing the creative writing course.
