GENRES
When we talk about creative writing, fiction and poetry often take the spotlight, but there are many other types of creative writing that we can explore. Let’s look at the genres of creative writing. As you read through the list, note the types of writing you’ve experimented with and the types you’d like to try.
- Poetry: A very popular, the most artistic and creative form of writing. You can write form poetry, free-form poetry, and prose poetry. Or try writing a story in rhyme.
- Free writing: Let your strange words and images find their way to a blank page. Anything goes! It’s a pinnacle of creative writing
- Diaries: A diary is a type of journal in which you write about your daily life. Some diaries are written in letter format (“Dear Diary…”). If you ever want to write a memoir, it would be a good idea to start keeping a diary.
- Memoir: Memoirs are books that contain personal accounts (or stories) that focus on specific experiences. For example, one might write a travel memoir.
- Essays: Essays are often associated with academic writing, but there are many types of essays, including personal essays, descriptive essays, and persuasive essays, all of which can be quite creative (and not especially academic).
- Song lyrics: Song lyrics combine the craft of writing with the artistry of music. Composing lyrics is similar to writing poetry, and this is an ideal type of writing for anyone who can play a musical instrument.
- Storytelling: Storytelling is the most popular form of creative writing and is found in the realms of both fiction and nonfiction writing. Popular forms of fiction include flash fiction, short stories, novellas, and full-length novels.
- Vignettes: Vignettes can be poems, stories, descriptions, personal accounts…anything goes really. The key is that a vignette is extremely short — just a quick snippet.
- Microtale: Microtale is the shortest story format in story-writing. A microtale is of least words yet hard to create as they must tell a story in just limited words.
- Stand-up Comedy: Stand-up comedy is stated to be the “freest form of comedy writing” that is normally regarded as an “extension of” the person performing.
