Q&A for How to Improve Creative Writing

A lot of it just comes down to putting the effort in and writing continuously. There are no quick tips here. You're going to need to put the time and effort in if you're going to improve!

If you hear something that's interesting to you, try to write a story about it from a different angle. Also, the same goes if you see something interesting on TV or in real life, try writing about if from a perspective other than the way you saw it.

Inspiration is everywhere! Put your own twist on something you enjoy. You could also go people-watching to gather inspiration and ideas for your stories. You can also look up writing prompts to use as inspiration.

Join a writing group to get feedback on your work. Writing groups are a great way to exchange feedback with other writers so you all grow.

Firstly, submit your assignments on time. Put as much effort into them as you can. If you do poorly, review the feedback that the teacher gives you. If they don't give you feedback, then ask them how you can improve. Writing is a learning process, so you need to practice to get better.

Finding the genre that best suits you depends on your personal preferences. Don't force yourself to write science fiction or fantasy if you don't like writing them. You don't really have to like to read a specific genre to like to write it, although that does help. Writing and reading are all about going somewhere else and experiencing something new or impossible, so whichever one gets you there the fastest is probably what you should do.
