“Creativity is

the WHOLE

Important aspects of

creativity:

by: Gemino H. Abad

1.The creative process is illustrated

by internal signs and one of them

is the fact that you can write

anything creatively on anything at

your best if you are “possessed”

by words and meaning, and by the

power of the “language”, the

power of “thinking” as well as the

power of “imagination”

2. There is a matter of

“attitude” toward one’s own

work, plus the “metal

discipline” to get everything

right and push one to write.

3. The language. It can be of any

language in the world. You can

write in language that you are most

comfortable with.

4. Each writer has a “point of view”

or what we call a “personal

conviction”. Points of view are

obsessions, agreements, or

disagreements among writers. One

can write depending on the “mood”

of the writer.

DIFFERENCES:

Technical Writing

 When it comes to technical

writing, the sole purpose of it is

to inform a reader and

sometimes trigger them into

taking action which would be

beneficial towards the writer.

Creative Writing

▪ Creative writing's purpose is to

both entertain as well as

educate. The majority of us

enjoy reading interesting stories

and novels, not necessarily

because they're helpful to use

but because we get a certain

feeling of pleasure from reading

them and this is the type of

pleasure that you can not get

from reading technical writing.
