THE ART OF WRITING

Creative Thinking and Writing.

ART

Is writing an art? This question is typically rhetorical; howbeit, we shall rely on the essence of its answer to aid the discourse of this article. In order to substantiate this assuming inference, the definition of Art is hereby, necessary. Art is primarily the superior skill that can be learnt by training or study via observation that attracts practice, which culminates to mastery. The processes that bring about art creations may not necessarily be beautiful in themselves, but in the end, beautiful or significant things are created. The world is so old with a whole lot to cast appreciative gazes upon; amongst the lots are fine, literary pieces. Art in a nutshell is the product of human creativity—works of art collectively—writing inclusive.

THE ART—Writing

Art had been said to be life; as the former basically imitates the latter. Let there be light…. And the ‘dark’ is called ‘night.’ Separation was done for water and land; then created were the fishes and beasts … and then, man. Man had since then sought to be like the God, Who made him in His image: initiating evolution! Evolution of the Artist—he draws, paints, and sculpts; he sings … and even writes. Writing is an art of stringing together alphabets that had formed words on a plain surface or paper, in sense making sentences, in order that communication can be aided. Writing leads to the production of “literary works.” Put simply, writing is the art of creating written works.

This art documents life with formed words; an ability that takes structure in virtually all languages—spoken, and then written when the uniquely made sounds by a people are encoded into accepted alphabets—a character set, used to write a language: of course, English is the language that has found expression in this article. Solution borne ideas are formed by thought processes, devoid of language—formless, but expressed in words of the thinker’s communicative nomenclature. It is this higher cognitive process that gives form to words, which are plied to qualify the main activity of this enviable profession—writing with veritability. Thinking, when done out-of-the-box is said to be creative: the kind of thinking by which novel literary pieces are crafted.

Creative Thinking

Creative thinking is the reasoning that takes place in the mind, which leads to certain creations. This kind of thinking stretches the mind beyond its original state, causing it to begin to see extraordinary things from the ordinary—fitly pondering that positions one to perceive things that are not, as though they were: this is where problem solving ideas that will eventually be made visible to the awe of all are given form. Creative thinking is most times spontaneous and works better, if not forced; it is however, best mastered and controlled. At times when it does flow and gets to be translated into writing, original artistic works are produced. You can think wherever; best thoughts though, have been done in solitudes. Practice is what strengthens the enablement to control this capability; howbeit, mastery is what gives rise to fluency in writing creatively.

Creative Writing

This is the entire process of crafting—laying down in absorbable chic, the content of a writer’s thoughts with an appealing style. The prowess of creative writing unleashed with the power possessed by an active imagination to make appealing compositions out of worthy ideas, makes for valued writings: this is what a good writer does, for the reading pleasure of his or her readers who are opportune to enter into his or her mind. Artfully composed, the seasoned writer holds readers with wordy arms, leading them to see from his point of exclusive insight. Readers’ open-mindedness and their resultant acceptance of the propagated facts seemingly endue on them, the writers’ experiences: these places of experiences are created by the writer, like God did the world in the beginning—at the unprecedented Creation, and then made man to eat the fruits thereof. Like an avatar, the reader assumes another life with which to live in the surreal world for a spell—life, made with the writer’s penning wand: this phenomenon proves the life of a book. The idea of writing in such depth with unfettered passion is to get readers involved in a knowing procedure; meanwhile, it behoove the writer to convince the readers with his or her perceptive knowledge where the latter are incited to reflect upon the former’s experiences, as though they had participated in real events.

To write convincingly, it must be done from the heart and pushed out with the force of passion: that is where originality happens. The art of writing must be exceptionally delivered to attract readers, since many people are gravitating toward other media, like television, computer games, and so on; for fascinations that they therein, find. The kinds of writing that will sell are those that are thrilling and inspiring enough to pull engaged minds from other forms of entertainment, to want to read instead…. And creative writing is a tool worth mastery, with which to achieve this feat. The outcomes of any artful expression, penned skillfully, and well guided by passion will always make exceptional books, articles, letters, and so forth—outstanding products of creative writing.
