Creative Writing encompasses an enormous spectrum with debatable boundaries from the artistic border of indecipherable hieroglyphics and calligraphy to the traditional frontier of allegory and beyond into some non-fiction. At Ivy Bridge, we focus on creative writing that develops student's ability to express themselves indirectly, frequently summed up as 'showing, not telling'. Creative writing, because it relies on the imagination, is about asking questions and realizing how many questions there are to ask. Then answering those questions in an artistic way. But that doesn't mean there is no research, rather just a different kind of research. Combining what we know about the real world into the fiction we write is difficult. Like learning many things, examples must be seen rather just relying on straight teaching. Attention to detail, seeing deeper and imagining ahead the possibilities are skills not developed in other subjects, for nowhere else is the student asked to create without limitation of finances or physics, yet at the same time respect reality. Creative writing in its development of problem solving skills is akin to engineering with the most fantastical materials and language as the building blacks.
