Creativefishi Swimming with Words

Know your audience is such a cliché writing advice . Perhaps its helpful when you are writing for a particular audience and you already know your crowd. For emerging writers, knowing what you are interested to write about is more important. Writing comes first, the audience comes next. At university, corporate writing and perhaps magazines' articles writing, knowing your audience is important, you write pretty to an established standards and interests. I differ on knowing my audience before the creative work is published.

Some people maintained their blogs on regular weekly, monthly and yearly bases. My blog was in the forgotten and neglected land.

Happy to find an old friend, happy to find my old self and see my new hopeful new self to reignite my passion for creative writing. I finished university a while back. But I wasn't consistent to continue and grow in my journey of creative writing. Today is closer to another new year, and hence my next year goals. To start from humble beginnings and go back to structured creative writing course. This time through dedicated writers center instead of studying elective creative writing subject through university.
