Five Types of Writing
What kind of a writing type are you?
There are many, many writing styles. Almost as many as there are writers. However, there are five main writing styles: expository, descriptive, narrative, persuasive, and creative.
Expository writing aims to inform, explain, and describe their subject. It is most common in text books or online.
Descriptive writing, as expected, uses many descriptive words to help the reader see and experience the world and characters with their five senses. Metaphors, similes, and symbols find ample use in descriptive writing.
Narrative writing is the common form for novels, biographies, and sometimes poems. Narratives tell life stories, have plots and story lines that the reader can follow and even self-identify with.
Persuasive writing relates the author's opinion. It can be about an issue the author wants to inform the audience about. This type of writing is seen in advertisements.
Creative writing is fun to read. It's thought provoking, and entertaining. Short stories, novels, plays, and poetry fall under creative writing.

For my last For Authors newsletter "Write! Your Life Depends On It!" , I received the following replies:
Octavius  wrote: I'm glad writing improves help. I just hope it improves my poverty lol.
One can hope. And write.
Jaelynn wrote: This is so true. Journaling has gotten me through some tough times. It's a great way to "let go" of troubling times and (as you say) move forward.
Yes, I know what you mean.
Zeke wrote: I know from personal experience that this advice is so true.

Thank you for commenting on my newsletter.
Pepper wrote: I recently started writing "Morning Pages" (The Artist Way by Julie Cameron) and have loved doing them. I love the freedom to write about whatever I want - writing ideas, frustrations, or just my plan for the day. Since starting this practice, I have been more relaxed and way more productive.
That sounds like something I should try.
Quick-Quill  wrote: Thanks for this NL. I've thought about writing a novel for the NaNowrimo. It's the prep work that scares me. I've written such trash for the last 2 I did, I'm afraid to do another. Maybe this plot will hook me like my first one did. It drove me to write the 50K the the following Jan I wrote another 40K. After editing it, the novel became about 85K and a great story. I'm worried I'm a one hit wonder. My second novel, well it was 35 years in the writing and rewriting.
Better to be a one hit wonder than zero. Just enjoy the process.
Mastiff wrote: I would agree with this completely. My doctor said if I didn't find a hobby, stress was going to kill me. I tried oil painting, but it turns out, I'm not good at it in the least. Then I considered writing again. Personal stuff instead of grants, reports, and boring work items. Well, I found this place about a year and a half ago, and it has helped me in many ways. I can completely escape all of the garbage life throws at me, and become immersed in a story or poem. So thanks, WDC, you may have saved my life!
WdC. And the dogs. Don't forget the dogs.
eyestar~* wrote: Wow! Evocative title and a true bit of wisdom. Writing has certainly helped me move stuff out and bring clarity. Sometimes I have to get the whirlwind settled to find that still peace to see my truth. I was unaware of these stats..so cool! Thanks for sharing this inspiring message that spurs us to write on!
