Creative Writing

Types of Imagery
Visual Imagery – appeals to the sense of sight, and plays the largest role in imagery in
literature. It describes what a scene or character looks like.
Auditory Imagery - describes specific sounds that are happening within the story.
Olfactory Imagery - describes a particular scent.
Gustatory Imagery - pertains to the sense of taste.
Tactile imagery - appeals to the sense of touch.
Kinesthetic imagery - deals with the movement or action of objects or people.
Organic imagery - is the most difficult form of imagery to write, because it deals with
creating a specific feeling or emotion within the reader.

Types of Writing
Academic - requires more factual evidence for support, and presents challenges such
as the pressure of time.
Creative - focuses on story-telling and recounting personal experiences. Its students
author fiction and poetry—using style, voice, and technique to make their writing
entertaining, smart, and packed with panache.
Technical - wholly written to inform and sometimes to trigger the person reading into
making an action beneficial to the one of the writers.
