9 Keys To Creative Writing

By Tycho Van Z

The most creative authors inspire generations of people and their work lives on for centuries. Now you don't have to sit and wait for that life-changing idea to appear. Here are 9 creative writing tips and hints.

Hint 1: Write Below Your Standards

Only read what you have written, after you're done writing the text. Allow yourself to write way below your standards. If keep holding back and are correcting yourself all the time, you must be also holding back on your most brilliant ideas.

Hint 2: Listen To Your Mother

Eat a balanced diet with lots of healthy foods, make sure you get enough sleep, and exercise. If you're in top condition, your brain functions in optimal condition as well, which means that you're more likely to get brilliant creative ideas.

Hint 3: Handle The Truth

I recommend getting lots of feedback, because if you don't, you probably don't have a single clue how you're doing. In my personal experience, getting feedback often leads me to great new ideas.

Tip 4: Cross the line

Yes, just forget about the laws. Be free. don't try to be politically correct. Go against the thoughts of everyone on purpose. For example, if you write about a con artist, avoid the cliché and portray him as the good guy.

Tip 5: Get Yourself Back To School

If you're looking for brilliant ideas, try some fun writing prompts. They will help you explore other writing genres and lead you to completely new ideas.

Tip 6: Drop your Pen

Sometimes it's best to take a break. The best and most creative writers also do a lot of research before they start writing. Doing research really enhances your creative abilities, as it gives you more pieces to work with.

Tip 7: Laugh

If you're not having fun writing, then your readers probably won't be amused as well when they try to struggle through your writing.

Tip 8: Get A Life

Leading an exciting life with lots of different things happening gives you an never ending amount of topics to write on. It also makes your life more exciting. Try doing some things you normally would never do. Traveling a lot also helps to generate brilliant ideas.

Tip 9: Choose A Boring Subject

Pick the most lame topic you can imagine, a topic you don't have any interest in whatsoever. The challenge is to find out how to make it interesting.

Success with the writing!
