Creative Writing Uses Storytelling
The rules of the plot and strategy of the plot as it unfolds, the characters in the story and how believable they were to you as you read through the story are the same in every kind of storytelling regardless of the sort of story. You might prefer a sort of class of writing but the basic ingredients are the same in every kind and category of writing.
When you have mastered these things in one sort of writing (called genres), you can then move to another kind of writing or genre of writing and be valuable in communicating your ideas in that area. Your skill will also increase as you try different genres.
Your objective as you write is to get the reader to identify with the characters or circumstances and have them become emotionally involved in finding out the result of the story. Most frequently, you are hoping for a successful end result.
For the villains in your writing, you are often trying to work out why they'd behave in that way and following along to determine if they get caught. Then seeing what happens to them as they are facing the consequences of what they have done. It gives us all sorts of things to chat to others about and express our opinions as regards what we think should happen to them whether or not it is a TV show, book or magazine.
This is also how it happens in real life. Stories often can be discovered in the events of the events around us. Your job is capturing those stories on paper. See if you can take a genuine life event, make a note of all the details about how and why you think it happened the way in which it did. The details as the story or event unfolds and working towards the result of the events.
You see it is the plot, how it unfolds, about the people concerned, the characters, and how plausible they were or were not to you as you watched it happen. What an entertaining way to improve your writing.
