: Re: Are there good tips on being a better *creative* writer? I'm a student at Case, and while we of course have an English department, it seems the only kind of writing classes/courses available

I also strongly recommend National Novel Writing Month. Not only will it give you a boost of confidence to finish, showing you that you actually are capable of writing something resembling a novel, but it should also give you a nice (very) rough draft that you can either burn and use for inspiration on #2 , or spend some time crafting into something readable.

Find someone who doesn't know you to read your work and give feedback. A local writing group is great if you can find one, otherwise you can find them online.

Check out some writers' blogs - John Scalzi has a good one where he often talks about the act of writing, and I'm sure there are plenty more.
