• Verse: a condensed, rhythmic form that uses imagery and sound to express emotion.
• Creative non-fiction: true stories shaped with the techniques of fiction, such as memoir and essay.
• Scriptwriting: writing intended to be performed, with dialogue and stage direction at its heart.
• Short forms: flash fiction, song lyrics, journals and experimental writing.

Starting creative writing can feel daunting, but a few simple habits help you build confidence quickly.

Try these approaches to get going:

• Read widely: study the books you love and notice how dialogue, pacing and description work.
• Establish a routine: set aside 15 to 30 minutes each day for free writing or short exercises.
• Use prompts and exercises: try the "show, don't tell" exercise or describe a memory using all five senses.
• Edit and revise: treat the first draft as raw material and use editing to shape your real story.
