Creative Writing Career Research Paper
Many have a dream of a creative writing career. You may dream of writing the great American novel, or becoming the next Poe. If you are serious about becoming a writer, there are several things you should do and keep in mind.
Write everyday as much as you can.
Writing is not like riding a bike. If you stop writing and go back to it 5 years later, you probably won't be nearly as good, let alone better.

Stop right now, check your calendar, and right in a time for everyday that you will write.
Write creatively, not like a high school essay.
You probably hated writing essays in school. They told you to have an introduction paragraph, the body, and the conclusion. Then they said to do the same with each paragraph. Don't use I and sound really boring. Okay, they might not have said that, but generally, most essays sounded very formal. If you enjoyed writing unique, creative essays, then you are on the right track. I'm not saying to forget everything you've learned about writing, I'm just saying that creative writing is much less formal. You want to engage your writer and keep them interested. Don't let boring monotony kill your story! …show more content…
I have come across some people's writing that was just awful. It was a good story and may have had potential, but it was very poorly written and seemed as though they wrote it once and never looked at it again.

Print it up, if possible, and read through it a few days after you wrote it. Analyze it and make sure it's perfect. Then have someone else that you trust go through it as well.
