Creative Writing:

Discover the many benefits of creative writing. It fosters observation, flexibility and persistence: all powerful drivers of personal growth, no matter the subject. You'll utilize the lessons you learn from creative writing throughout life. ¹

Writing not only expands your ability to absorb, process, retain and retrieve information across disciplines, it also gives you the tenacity to face of new, complex material. We can get really geeky, but for now, consider this: as you create storyworlds, characters and plot structures, you engage with the big picture and small details simultaneously and strengthen long-term memory.

Creative writing heightens your:
• Observation skills
• Flexibility and adaptability
• Perseverance to complete every task ²

Almost every job posting lists strong communication as a desired skill (unless it’s for, say, a lone penguin caretaker in the North Pole). How exactly can you become proficient in this resume-friendly ability? By writing creatively, you practice formulating your thoughts and conveying them in a way that others can understand. This not only enhances all forms of written communication but verbal too. ³

The value of clearly, concisely and accurately articulating your ideas cannot be overstated. Whether you’re talking to a friend or coworker, every conversation hinges on your command of expressing yourself—so exercise those self-expression muscles through creative writing!

The bard himself wrote, "Our doubts are traitors and cause us to miss the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt." Creative writing squashes those doubts, leaving you ready for anything. Imagine, for instance, your pride when readers appreciate your stories. These emotions empower, fueling a confidence reservoir needed to lean in to and overcome life's challenges. ⁴

Find your voice during the writing process—it’s liberating! Besides making you more comfortable with yourself, a strong voice transforms your interpersonal communication skills and could turn you into the life of the party.
