ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Creative writing

Creative writing is when you use your imagination to make up stories, poems, and other kinds of writing that are not true, but sometimes they can be based on real events or people. It's like playing pretend with words! Writing creatively means you can make up anything you want, with no rules or limits, and anyone can do it, no matter how old or young you are. It's a way to express yourself by putting your thoughts and ideas into words, and it can be a lot of fun! Think of it like drawing or painting, but with words instead of colors.
