Blog # 1: Creative Non-Fiction... What does this mean?

Well, first of all, welcome everyone! I hope you will find certain writings on my blog that you like and will find interesting and useful to you. In fact, I think that's why I like writing the most. There is always so much inside me all the time- ideas, thoughts, or emotions I need to release immediately. I like to write what I feel and what I think and possibly in this way, it can help others get inspired and have something to relate to also.

Writing creative non-fiction is an expression of yourself and we all can be creative and write well if we let it out. We all have plenty of stories to tell. It's really who we are. Creative non-fiction gives us all the ability to explore our mind and soul and pour out what we truly feel, what lies inside us begging to be set free, or the every-day inspiration that we encounter. You'll be surprised, you don't know what your capabilities are until you really try and the best part is, there are no rules.


I'm sure everyone knows the song by Anna Nalick called Breathe. The lines I like most about this song are

"2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to"

I'm not a big fan of this song so if you don't like it, it's ok. These lyrics make me get chills every time I hear them because it's really how I feel and what can describe writing for me.

Another song that I can relate to is by Natasha Bedingfield called Unwritten. In this song, there are a few lines about writing that I like because it shows that inspiration is everywhere and sometimes it isn't always easy to find the right words. But creativity is all around... most of all, it is inside you. And you can't go wrong with the truth.

"Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find"
