Creative Writing Help

For those of you who struggle to obtain A's for your creative writing essays, do not panic! I have just made a slideshow that will help you very much.

A very helpful and insightful slideshow providing unconventional tips, help and information specifically for writing essays and transactional pieces in English Home Language or English First Additional Language for the Matric NSC Paper 3 examination. It can be helpful for any grade, any curriculum, any country and any language. Includes information on long-term and short-term preparation for essays and transactional writing, general writing tips, ways to get 'inspired', and various examples. This presentation was collated by someone who achieved very high marks in creative writing, and would like to share her secrets, tips and ideas with anyone who needs help. This slideshow WILL change the way you approach your creative writing exams - I hope it helps you!
