or the expression of one creative writer’s mind in a specific order with
coherence.

What makes or sets creative writing above or in a different manner from
other career options? The answer to this question lies in the fact that one needs
a serene mind to expose one’s serene creativity, as revealed by his/her writings.
Writing of any genre or style can be put under the category of being ‘creative
writing’, if and only if, such writing exposes or suffices the readers’ mind to the
extent that, the readers get the solutions of their day to day problems through it.

Then how to cultivate this creative instinct? It can only be predicted that the
creativity of the human mind in any form or manifestation, including in the form
of creative writing divulges and thereby flourishes by cultivating the divine
qualities of life.

What are these divine qualities like? The answer is simple. Those qualities in
a person’s life, which enrich or propagates the positive faculties of mind and in
the process, negates the negative faculties of the human mind can be termed as
divine. This includes those faculties of mind, which makes or takes our mind
towards the light or in other words towards brightness in life. Such creative
writings can be termed as exponents of creativity.

Another moot question that emerges at this point of time which is where
from creativity in writing originates? The answer seems to be diabolic and
may be answered or gauged taking the analogy of spring coming out of a hill. As
spring and its water originate from the midst of rock, a thing completely
opposite to the characteristics of water, so does, creativity. It originates and
flourishes from the mind of a person who is rock solid against all the
eventualities of life in his passion for sprinkling his/her creativity. Taking the
analogy of spring again, it can also be said that coming out of the water from the
midst of a rock is an astonishing fact of nature, so should be the product or the
creative works of a creative writer.
What fine-tunes the creativity of a creative writer? Answer to this question
seems to lie in the fact of being a vivid reader. The more one reads, the more
fine-tuning of his/her mind takes place and more the creativity of a writer
flourishes. Moreover, it is rightly said that the more the turmoil in one writer’s
life, the more the fine-tuning of his creativity takes place. This is so because, the
more the turmoil in a creative writer’s life, the more the urge to configure one’s
turmoil and thereby exposing the hardships and agony faced during such a
turmoil to the outside world. In this way, it may be said that ‘turbulence and
creativity’ in a writer’s life are like the two sides of a coin.

How the society treats the creativity of a writer? The answer to this question
also seems to vary from one society to another and from one country to other.
