Does anyone have any tips for creative writing?
I had always tested very well in grammar and reading but when it comes to coming up with ideas or even responding to writing prompts I am absolutely pathetic. I was held back in my english classes over it. It's almost like a stage fright, or a feeling like there is something wrong with me that might show up if I wrote anything too honestly.
Write for yourself. Get it out, all the broken thoughts, unfinished sentences, honesty and whatever. You can go through it all later and decide what to share and what to keep for yourself or throw out. Hope this helps!
