   We must know that creative writing is any form of writing that expresses ideas and thoughts in an imaginative way. It's different from the normal academic writing that is factual, straight to the point etc.   From this above, let us classify all written works into two: fiction and non-fiction   Non-fiction is any work of art that expresses real life situations whilst Fiction is anything written that's not real, in other words, imagined  Creative writing includes poems, novels, short stories, movie scripts, comedy anything that is in fact imaginative. These forms of writing have a way of entertaining the readers and giving vivid images of events that have either happened or just exist in the writers head.   Now you may be thinking to yourself, I love reading novels, I love spoken word poetry, I want to be able to write scripts etc. How do I do this?   This is how you do it: BE CREATIVE! You cannot give what you don't have remember. Start by...

The book, published in 2010, contains twelve chapters and 200 pages. Gary Chapman who is an anthropologist, has been on continual study of human cultures and he came to a conclusion which is inevitable that "marriage between a man and a woman is the foundation of all human societies." All couples anticipate living happily ever after. No one gets married hoping to be miserable, yet we all know that divorce rate hovers around fifty percent. Divorce is the result of lack of preparation for marriage and failure to learn the skills of working together as teammates in an intimate relationship. What is ironic is that we recognize the need for education in all our pursuits of life and fail to recognize that we need it when it comes to marriage. This is a book on how to have a successful marriage. Being in love is not an adequate foundation for building a successful marriage, we often fail to consider the fact that our social, spiritual and intellectual interests are miles a...

The topic we shall be discussing is quite simple and and at the same time an essential one to take note of. We all know that before you write, especially nonfiction articles, you must have a subject. In this context, subject means the "main topic or idea" on which you build your write up. This invariably means that, as a writer, it is imperative you find your subject, else you might beat around the bush and not really make a major point thereby reducing your level of impact. The fact is, having a subject (that is, main topic or theme) helps your focus, amplifies your creativity and delivers your message clearly. It helps your readers anticipate and understand your work better, leaving them less puzzled about what you are trying to say. For example, let us say Upjay picks up a book that has no title, in this case, subject. The truth is, he will spend the whole reading journey trying to figure out the main message the author is trying to pass across and somewhere in his s...

Firstly, let's consider the definition of the word, "relevance." The dictionary defines the word as the state of being relevant which is not being out of date, old fashioned or outmoded. Having established this, how then can I remain relevant in my chosen field, career, workplace, sphere of influence? We'll be looking at four steps which can guide us on the right path. They are: 1. Stay Within Your God-Ordained Purpose: I am very confident that before this stage, we should have been able to identity our purpose for us to remain relevant in it. Do what you enjoy, do not choose a job you don't like just for the money else you might likely spend all the extra cash trying to relieve the stress of doing what you hate. 2.Self Development: This is very essential in whatsoever field or career path you might have chosen. You have to develop yourself. Take a course, learn a new skill, try something new. Be knowledgeable. Graduating from school is not enough, ...

Let me start with this quote. "It's not enough just to work hard, it's not enough to do a great job to be successful, you need to learn how to really communicate with others." Good communication and leadership are all about connecting. The writer of this book, John C. Maxwell is a leadership expert, an international speaker and also a preacher of God's word. This book was really engaging for me because it is filled with so much of John's personal stories, anecdotes, his personal life experiences, etc, which I could really relate with on a personal stand. Though the book is crowded with a lot of principles on how to communicate and connect with people, I have decided to highlight some few points that really resonated with me and so I would also encourage you to go get the book. If you want to succeed, you must learn how to connect with people. And while it may seem like some folks are just born with the ability, the fact is that anyone can learn how ...

   Writing is the act of putting down anything on black and white. Some might ask what about putting down ink on paper. But I would say that putting it on paper simply means the act of documentation. Now to us all, what is style? Different people have their various definitions of what a style is because style is an individual art. On my own, however, style is a way of writing that is peculiar to an individual and also helps to differentiate their work from others'. This very reason is why style is individualistic. Many authorities have stated that a good writer must have a special way they write. In literature, writing style is the manner of expressing thought in language characteristic of an individual, period, school or nation. Beyond the essential elements of spelling, grammar and punctuation, writing style is the choice of words, sentence structure and paragraph structure, used to convey meaning effectively. Style is about how the writer does it. While following...

          One thing that is synonymous to reading, is writing. They literally go hand in hand, just like best friends or better still twins that are inseparable. Right from time, one is considered a literate or educated when he/she can read and write. One is first taught how to read and identify the alphabets, then taught how to write them down. So basically writing involves putting down words, formed from combinations of alphabets, that represent your thoughts.   Writing skill as the name implies, is the knowledge you acquire, learn and practice  in order to write better.   From elementary school, we've all been exposed to different forms of writing, from compositions, to letters, comprehension, down to literary works. All spoke of different types of writing. Even science spoke of a different type of writing.   Literally, we can categorise all these into; *Nonfiction- writing that contains real facts. That you can easily relate to....

Book title :THE RULES OF LOVE    By Richard Templar   Richard Templar has written so many  rules-like books such as the rule of management, work,wealth,parenting,love etc...   My personal question is;Are there really rules of love?    In my own understanding I think rules could also mean some sets of principles,ethics,guidelines, laws...etc that if applied in a love relationship,it can help to make it better,easier,interesting and save us from a lot of damages and heart breaks.   In the words of the author; strong ,loving relationships are what life is all about and some people are really good at it.   The truth remains that love may be human instinct, but sharing life with other people is not always easy and since it is not always easy,let's learn from the rules base on what the author has to say and i believe that these sets of building principles will help form and sustain enduring and ultimately life enhancing relationships. ...

Leadership is the action of leading a group of people or an organization, or the ability to do this. It is about working with people to do new things in a world which is increasingly complex and fast changing. Every leader needs to have experienced and grown through the following - learning to be dedicated, observant, capable of working with and learning from others, never servile, always truthful. Having located these qualities in themselves, leaders can encourage them in others. He/she must be able to: 1. Define the task at hand. 2. Prepare a structured plan on how to proceed. 3.
