Creative Writing is a style where you focus on thoughts and emotions instead of just passing along knowledge (that's called non-fiction). Here are some types of creative writing that you might run into:
- Autobiography or Memoir - writing about your own life
- Biography - writing about someone else's life
- Children's Literature - very short works written in simple language
- Creative Nonfiction - essays (either personal or journalistic)
- Derivative Fiction - also called fanfiction - writing about characters and settings to which you do not own the copyright
- Journal - writing about your thoughts and feelings; an online journal is usually called a blog (short for web-log)
- Novellas and Novels - the typical works of fiction. Novellas are between 17,500 and 40,000 Words; novels are over 40,000 Words.
- Novelisation - converting the story from a movie or television show into a novel
- Playwriting - writing for the stage
- Poetry - rigidly structured writing which may rhyme but always has a specific rhythm or meter
- Screenwriting - writing for movies or television
- Short Stories - works of fiction that are less than 7,500 Words
- Travelogue - writing about your travels and adventures
- Young Adult Literature - writing about the concerns of teenagers. YA literature usually deals with coming of age, romance, learning skills needed in adult life, becoming independent, and specific emotions that all teenagers experience
