Literary devices to improve your creative writing style
This document discusses using rational, discriminating, and judicious judgment when writing. It advises that writers must first evaluate their own ideas and choose the most important one to control each sentence. Without making a clear choice, writing will lack style.

Overall, the document encourages writers to thoughtfully evaluate and structure their ideas for better style.

There are many styles of creative writing, such as: fiction, nonfiction, poetry, novels, and more. The purpose is to not only express ones deepest thoughts, but to also entertain, educate, and spread awareness. Within creative writing, we can write about anything: a story, an experience, friends, a hobby, a memory, an event and even the “what if” scenarios.

When out of nowhere pops this big strong half human and half vampire man starts howling and has a really awesome looking sword and some guns too. He is known as the dark stranger. We were glad to see him he also had some buddies with him so we knew it was going to be ok. That is until they were coming for us and not the vampires. It turns out we were the bad guys and the vampires were the good guys weird huh. Except I didn't believe they were good I think the stranger was wrong and was there because he couldn't resist human blood no more. (Williams, 2009)
