Creative Writing: Fiction

The act of writing creatively can be a fascinating adventure, a mystery, a delight. To express your thoughts and feelings on a blank page is a quest to create not just phrases, but life where before there was only emptiness. Writing can also be mysterious. You can never quite know what you may discover as you reach down into yourself in the creative act of self-expression. The process is seldom an easy one. Finding ways to reflect yourself and to portray life as you see and feel it can be a demanding challenge. Great satisfaction and fulfillment are the potential rewards, but you must be willing to invest your most precious assets—your time and yourself.
