Creative writing

I have put together some links to online writing resources to help you develop your writing skills. These mostly relate to creative writing, but the basic skills will help you in all of your writing across all subjects.

If you find yourself with ten minutes and a creative tingling, you could try on of these writing prompts. If they don’t spark your interest, try these.



In class, I suggested that when planning your writing task in the exam, you ask yourself the following questions:

· What is the structure?
· What atmosphere will I create at the beginning? Will it change?
· What images can I create? (What can I compare things in the story to?)
· How will I build tension?
· How will I create character?
