anyhoo, i find it's good to have a few pieces of creative writing already prepared, ones that you've practiced adapting into different text types too. if i have to start coming up with a story on the spot, i'm in trouble... hmmm, in need of ideas for topics... | |

1 Nov 2006, 6:26 PM | Re: Creative Writing: Hints I think 1000 words would be plently. You can make a decent short story in 1000 words, as long as you have a good concept and finish it I don't think its size would really matter. I would seriously struggle to do 1000 words in a planned essay, let alone do that when i have to somehow be creative as well. |

In an essay you have to follow more strict guidlines and have balanced texts, techniques etc. So it would be unbalanced if you wraped up and essay when you run out of time. In creative writing on the other hand finishing up a story quicky doesn't affect it as much as in an essay. I would do the creative writing last as i can keep the story going for as long as possible and finish it when i want and can still have impact. Whereas if you did essay last, you have a limit to the amount you write on it so it's not as easy to do a quick wrap up or keep it going like in creative writing. anyway... i should be studing, not analysing this bloody exam!! | |

i agree that practice is helpful. Also it's easier to cut stuff out of/abrubtly end a creative piece rather than an essay which has certain content-based requirements. btw, thanks to anti for starting this thread. i'm v. weak on this section. | |
