NEEDS TO BE CREATIVE

I attached how blog essays are suppose to be written

Creative Nonfiction

Creative nonfiction is a genre of writing that has a long history but is currently very popular.

  • It is writing about factual information in a creative way
  • Avoid only giving straight-forward boring facts (even though facts are important)
  • Think about presenting it for an online audience: pictures, videos, gifs, hyperlinks, etc.
  • Tips on Adding Substance and Creativity to Your Writing
    • Start with a good topic or a good story
    • Add information
    • Add details
    • Add adjectives and adverbs
    • Add research (quotations, social media posts, hyperlinks, memes, videos, etc.)
    • Make sure your essay/article is about something (topic, issue, perspective, etc.)
