Diction Definition


Diction can be defined as style of speaking or writing, determined by the choice of words by a speakeror a writer. Diction, or choice of words, often separates good writing from bad writing. It depends on a number of factors. Firstly, the word has to be right and accurate. Secondly, words should be appropriate to the context in which they are used. Lastly, the choice of words should be such that the listener or reader understands easily.
Proper diction, or proper choice of words, is important to get the message across. On the other hand, the wrong choice of words can easily divert listeners or readers, which results in misinterpretation of the message intended to be conveyed.



WHY IS IT IMPORTANT ?
Does that mean you can never write about characters with whom you are unfamiliar? No. What you have to do is RESEARCH. And research in this area is a matter of listening hard and asking the right questions.
If you are going to write about a character from a setting and circumstances with which you”re not conversant, you can do a number of things: Find books dealing with your setting and time period. Visit the place. Talk to people. Let conversations flow. Tape record the people you talk to.
You can find people of any background who are willing to talk to you about their lives. And for specialized characters (trades, skills, professionals, etc.) you can find experts who will be happy to share their world. Ask them about their “lingo.” Create a glossary. The effort will be well worth it.
One of the most crucial aspects of fiction writing is that the information surrounding the story is accurate and complete.
thats all ;)

WHAT IS CREATIVE WRITING ?

Imahe
                                                          CREATIVE WRITING                                         Defining Creative Writing You might have heard it called different things. Traditionally referred to as literature,  creative writing  is an art of sorts - the art of making things up. It's writing done in a way that is not academic or technical but still attracts an audience. Though the definition is rather loose, creative writing can for the most part be considered any writing that is original and self-expressive. A news article, for example, cannot be considered creative writing because its main goal is to present facts and not to express the feelings of the writer.
