Creative Writing

Writers are needed anywhere there are words written! Think of anywhere you've seen words and a writer put them there. Also, writers make the scripts for movies, TV shows, radio advertisements, and other areas where people are speaking from a prepared script.

Because the characters in successful novels progress, they change and adapt to circumstance and experience. Perhaps they start bitter, yet by the time their tale is told, they are at peace with themselves and those around them because of the things that happened on their journey. This progression is what people associate with on an instinctive level and it is this, as much as a good background plot, that people enjoy reading about.

Proof reading and editing are the second most important part of writing -- the first would be getting the ideas out of your mind and down into the story! You must be able to edit that story into marketable form for it to sell.

If you are looking for specific steps, do not bother. Each successful writer seems to use a slightly different technique. Fiction and non fiction writers however use totally different techniques.

Non fiction writers create the outline. They recreate it in far more detail. Then they fill in the details. They frequently spend more time on the outline than on the text itself.

Fiction writers each have their own technique. When Margaret Mitchell wrote Gone With the Wind, she wrote it backwards. She wrote the last chapter first, then the next to the last chapter and so forth.

All fiction writers constantly revise. TK Rowling revised the first page of Harry Potter 15 times. Katherine Revised her novel Christy, 49 times.

Jack London would revise his material using colored pencils. He would use a different color each day.

Finally, the manuscript is typed and sent to the editor or agent. The editor suggests changes. With many novels, the editor removes the first 4 chapters! Then the editor creates galley proofs. Then the editor creates page proofs. Then the editor creates the book. So most of the writing process occurs in the revising process.

Of course, everything begins with the idea. One woman used the story board technique. She put pictures around her room in the order she wanted the story to go. Another woman went to the Holy Land. As she went from site to site, she imagined what one historical figure was saying to another.

Put yourself in the dangerous place. Imagine you are Jane trying to hide from the man who just escaped death row for rape and murder. You are Bill with one bullet in your gun. If you do not hit the charging grizzly in his heart he will eat you.

A good writer puts you in the scene.

People began telling stories to try to explain things in the world around them. These would have been "cavemen" sitting around their fires at night.

It depends on what you want written. Articles, ebooks, newsletters, ads, press releases.... Then it also depends on the volume. I know a team of writers who write for my websites. You can send them an email and find out. http://www.freelancewritingdesk.com Cannot discuss rates, as I don't know the type of content you want written.

It really doesn't matter as long as it makes sense and supports the main idea

Generally over 40,000 words and no more than 120,000 (that's getting a bit over the top). Under 40,000 is a Novella. If your looking to publish, most publishing people want over 60,000.

Hope that helps.

WikiAnswers cannot give you a writing topic - you need to pick one which is interesting to you so that your can write a better essay, and so it will be easier for you. If you just write about something somebody else thinks is interesting, you're going to be bored, and your writing will be boring.

The reader creates meaning as he or she reads. Each time a thing is read, it is interpreted by the reader. A given reader at different times can have varying emotions which will vary how that reader interprets the text.

Make a list of your spelling words. Now, think of a sentence that you could use with each of those words. Try to make sentences that make sense together in a story. Then, arrange the sentences into a story -- you can change the sentences and add more sentences to make the story make more sense if you want.

Here's an example:

Word List: hotel, hound, habitat, hunter

Sentences: The hotel was near the woods. The hunter and his hound were hunting foxes. The habitat of a fox is the woods.

Story: The hunter and his hound were hunting foxes. The hunter knew that the fox's habitat is the woods. They found a hotel near the woods to stay.
