Creative Non-Fiction?

Creative non-fiction is adding spice, creativity, angle, flavor, and juice to something that is simply true.

If someone were to write an article about a soccer game and began with: " Real Madrid scores five in good win," the reader would be bored out of his/her mind.

If it began like this :"Real Madrid rip five past sorry opponent in pure domination," the read would be jumping in joy. It's about how a writer puts the words together to make the sentence flow like a river in front of a reader's eyes to grab their interest by the throat.

People enjoy fiction because it is made up. It could be a dream, fantasy, or a simple piece of magic someone comes up with by using a pen, paper, or computer. It is really not that difficult to do, if one has the heart and passion to do so.

To write non-fiction is simply writing the truth. It could be something that happened, will happen, or is happening. To make real life exciting, one needs to liven it up.

Creative non-fiction is good for writers who want to tell a story, any story, that is nothing but the truth. It can not be fictional, at all.

If I were to go to a soccer game, I would describe the action with as much electricity as possible. If I want my readers to sleep, I would simply write: " The team in black scored a goal from inside the area in the final minute to win the game." Yes that is very cool but the way it is written does not even come close to how exciting the moment really was; magical, unbelievable, heart pounding, and simply amazing.

" The game has been a back and forth battle from goal to goal and finally, in the 90th and final minute, the captain of the home side strikes the ball from close range into the top corner passed the outstretched arm of the helpless goal keeper to win it." That is how a moment such as this one should be described on paper.

This type of writing is what makes non-fictional writers shine among others. J.K. Rowling used creative fiction to capture the minds and hearts of people all around the world. By using that technique, she produced an absolute masterpiece. Creativity is the missing ingredient that all non-fiction writers should add to their beautiful recipes to make it taste perfect.
