Choosing A Creative Writing Website

By Eloise Hewitt


People often have misconceptions about writers. There is the theory that only a select few are capable of creating great stories. However the ability to write is a skill that can be developed in much the same way as someone can learn to run, fish, knit and so forth. One way to develop your skills is to find a creative writing website.

There are often a lot of misconceptions about the nature of writing. Some people still see a writer as a gifted person who is given instant inspiration. Only these select few are considered capable of producing brilliant stories that only these great writers are capable of doing.

While it is true that there are some people who are more naturally gifted at writing than others this does not mean only those people can write. There are plenty of people who are professional athletes but there are also plenty of people who can benefit from running. You can develop writing skills in much the same way as someone can learn to run, swim or any other skill. It can take time and discipline but if you are willing to put the effort in you will get the reward for it.

When looking at forums you should look for the ones that are the most active. This means when you are posting something you are more likely to get a reply. Furthermore it shows that the people involved are interested and engaged in the subject matter. When posting on a forum check the rules so that you avoid posting anything that is inappropriate.

It also helps to look before you post. Check to make sure that your material is appropriate for the site. For example some may be designed for a wide audience and so you may want to avoid any work that contains a lot of sexual references or violent imagery. Furthermore if you do not follow the rules of the forum you may get banned.

When it comes to sites that offer tuition you should check their background. Ideally you want someone who has the relevant experience in teaching other writers or in terms of their own background. A quick check online will allow you to learn more about the background of their work and how well it was received.

When choosing a course you need to check to see who runs it. Ideally this should be someone who is accredited or has a notable background. For example if you want to learn how to write a script you ought to look for online courses run by someone who has had a number of films produced. Ideally you also want someone who has given lectures or given workshops in colleges to show that they have experience in engaging with students.

Looking at a couple of different sites will make it easier for you to improve your skills. Often the people on forums will be able to recommend tutors as well as website for creative exercises. Use your regular search engine to find website pages and to get more tips to help you get the most out of your writing.
