learn to read, write, or teach creative writing—an approach

Trying to break through on the creative writing front? Want to learn how to read or write creative literature or how to teach creative writing? Read on to find out more; you may be surprised at what you discover.

about this feature

If you're a serious reader, knowing how to get the most from a work of creative writing can be a life-enriching asset. If you're a creative writer or have aspirations toward becoming one, knowing how to write creatively is (or will become) an indispensible aspect of your craft.

Acquiring skills like these can be a pleasure or a chore, but either way mastering these skills is well worth the effort.

You may already have achieved this mastery. But if you're now studying literature appreciation or creative writing, if you're planning to attempt it, or if you've temporarily failed, there may be worthwhile questions you have yet to pursue. Here are a few of them:

• Are you sure that you've settled on the best, most congenial way to learn and perfect your creative skills?
• Are you working hard but just marking time, not seeming to progress, not learning as fast or efficiently as you believe you should be?
• Have you been wondering whether the things you're learning are relevant to your goals?
• Are you making progress, but in the wrong direction or in the wrong subjects?
• Is the scope of your investigation too broad or too narrow?

At this feature you will explore, identify, and resolve concerns you may have about how best to learn to do, read, or teach creative writing. Resolving concerns like these may help you clarify what if anything you wish to do to polish your skills, and to formulate a plan for doing it. The Muse also provides references to other Internet resources that may assist you further.
