The Magic Potion

Nope. It’s not a drink that once you gobble it down your throat, would make somebody fall so much in love with you, if you might think it that way. It’s not something either that would make one get hypnotized by you if you sprinkle it on her face.  So, guess what I’m talking about? It’s all about Creative Writing. It’s that magic potion if you may allow me to believe it that way. And it’s one of my best friends. It really works for a dreamer like me.


For me, creative writing gives life to my fantasies. It tries to make my dreams become a reality. It animates my thoughts and emotions. It gives life to my hidden feelings. Yes, that’s the magic of creative writing for me. It’s really a magic potion, that’s why I love creative writing.

I learned back in high school that Creative Writing works for three popular types such as short stories, plays and poems. With this learning, it really works for me.

I've tried writing short stories already and my one attempt is still unfinished, am about to write Chapter 8 of it yet. Isn’t that too long for a short story to have so many chapters? Poems? I’ve tried some but I forgot how to really make a good one. How about plays? Never tried one.

I’ve yet to discover more things that creative writing can give me. But for now, it gives me much freedom to express my dreams and fantasies in life. Thanks for learning about Creative Writing. And thanks to my English teacher who taught me about the subject, maybe that was 26 years back then.
