Creative writing comment

I realize I just posted a very long weekly, but I forgot about discussing the creative writing tips we received in class.

Creative writing knowledge is pertinent to our literacy knowledge base. But of all genres of writing, hearing a lecture on the basics may be the least effective.

We all know the elements of fiction or nonfiction, even if we can't name and describe them. Even if we don't, for some reason, the only way to know them is to do them. Maybe this can be said for most genres of writing, but we've read creative fiction and nonfiction all our lives, and by now, the only way to internalize any of the rules is to execute them.

I'm hoping we get a chance to do this before class ends!
