Creative writing cannot be taught; it can only be learned. A teacher cannot tell an individual
how to write; he can tell him only how to write better. The teacher can conduct or guide or
direct; he can save the writer time ― perhaps years ― by showing him shortcuts and by
helping him solve technical problems that use up time and energy.He can help the writer
overcome emotional difficulties that keep him from writing. The teacher can even strike a
match and set the writer on fire. However, the flame itself is not in the teacher but in the writer.
All writing that is not directly copied from another source is creative. A letter is creative. An
advertising slogan is creative. Whatever goes through the mind of a human being and is
altered by it is creative. The difference between writers lies in their quality, their purpose, and
their effect. The difference between a play by Shakespeare and a television drama is the
difference in the quality of the writing style, the purpose of the dramatic form, and the effect of
the play on the audience. The writer may assume rightfully that he is creative, but he must
determine where he belongs in he creative field; he must discover his potential as well as his
limitations.
