• Plays and screenplays: formats designed for actors, directors and a viewing audience.

Getting started with creative writing comes down to building a routine and giving yourself permission to experiment.

A structured beginner's plan looks like this:

• Build a reading habit: expose yourself to many styles so you can recognise what you want to emulate.
• Practise daily: consistency matters more than length — a small habit yields big results over time.
• Try writing exercises: try the "show, don't tell" exercise or describe a memory using all five senses.
• Polish your work: revising teaches you more about writing than drafting ever will.

A private tutor offers structured guidance, honest critique and the encouragement that keeps beginners writing.
