Elements of Creative Writing

Setting

Where is your story taking place?

You may have one, or you may have various settings depending on your story's demands.

The setting can be as small as a single room in a building or as large as an entire city or country.

Consider the genre and tone of your story:

For example, in a thriller, jumping around settings can disturb the reader’s sense of stability, while a domestic piece might benefit from consolidating the action in a single room to heighten the drama.

Character

Characters drive the plot and overcome the central dilemma.

They are the individuals with whom your readers identify and become involved.

Your characters can be whoever you want them to be—human or not—and carry any traits you want them to have.

Look around you for inspiration.

Everyday life offers an abundance of characters in every walk of life, providing endless sources of inspiration to ensure your characters are believable.

Plot

The plot is the arc of your story, traditionally made up of three parts: the setup, the confrontation, and the resolution.

Every piece of writing, video, or music has a plot—something happens throughout the time you are engaging with it.

Ensure that your writing always has an underlying plot, giving every word you write a purpose.

Point-of-View

The point-of-view is an essential tool in creative writing.

Readers rely on the central storyteller to relay the plot through their eyes.

There are various options for choosing whose point-of-view to tell your story:

First person - I, and me

Second person - you

Third person limited - through one central character

Third person omniscient - seeing all characters’ minds

Experiment with different viewpoints until you find the one that best presents your story.

Conflict

Conflict is the central hook to any expert story.

Traditionally, conflict occurs when the protagonist encounters an adversary or antagonist.

This antagonist could be another character, nature, society, technology, religion, or even the protagonist’s inner beliefs or personality.

Conflict drives the narrative and keeps readers engaged.

Theme

A theme is the underlying message conveyed in your writing, separate from the plot.

Themes can be universal and resonate with all audiences, such as greed, good vs. evil, defying the odds, and coming of age.

Including an underlying theme adds depth to your writing, helping your audience gain a deeper understanding of you as a writer and your purpose for writing.
