Creative Writing - Where Do I Start My Conversation

Pretend you are telling your best friend your story by writing them a letter. Imagine they have been away on an extended vacation and you are excited to bring them up to speed on what has been happening while they have been away. You have sooo much to tell them. That means you will be explaining what you are sharing in depth and engaging your emotions so your content is rich with your feelings. Put in ALL of the juicy details. Especially what you would most like to know if you were away and getting a letter from home.

Conversational writing is one of the fastest ways to become comfortable with learning to put your thoughts onto paper and for you to experience the joy of communicating with writing. As you are telling your story in this manner, it becomes easy and fun. When writing this way the words flow from your heart. Because they are genuine, they touch the one who receives them at their heart level and the words become special messengers.

The creative part comes into play as you remember to include all of the information. Give as much of a description as you can about what is happening in the events you are sharing. Make it fun for them to read. Add in as many personal details as possible.

Letters from friends or someone special can be the source of such comfort and can bring repeated pleasure to the ones who receive the letter(s), often being re-read on a frequent basis. Whenever they need a lift, they can experience the words again and find themselves back in the feeling. The same thing is true of your favorite book or article. It is saved for repeated readings.

See writing as creative sharing and you will find it a pleasure to do. Consider what has brought joy to you and remember that same thing will bring joy to others. Share your story--we are all waiting to read all about it.
