If you are a poet, writer, you know - or should know - the vital importance of editing. The amount of times a work is edited depends on the writer and his or her preferences, or convictions / dedication to making the work the best it can be. In this Blog post, below, please find instructions on part 2 of the editing exercise. I hope you will enjoy it and participate. I look forward to reading your first versions of your spring-themed poems.

Happy writing to all - please let me know if you have any questions. Since I was in college, I have been told that writers need to be creative. I have read a lot of good books – and other material – that blew my mind with how good the writing was. Reading how the sentences were not just there on the page, but alive, reaching out to touch your inner being. When the story and writing are good, it is true that it’s hard to put it down. This holds true for whatever we are reading, whether it be a novel, a book of poetry, inspirational material, an essay, or whatever.
Defined (Google.com), “Creative writing, a form of artistic expression, draws on the imagination to convey meaning through the use of imagery, narrative, and drama. This is in contrast to analytic or pragmatic forms of writing. This genre includes poetry, fiction (novels, short stories), scripts, screenplays, and creative non-fiction.” Yet, honed through specificity of the individual, creative writing is a form of artistic expression that draws on the imagination to convey meaning through the use of imagery, narrative, and drama. How creative are you (have you been) in your writing, whether poetry, fiction, non-fiction, or whatever? How much time do you spend on re-reading and re-writing? When you re-write and edit, do you find areas where you can re-write that sentence, paragraph, verse, or chapter to make it more creative? © 2/2/24 MJ Reynolds Please share in the comments:
