We are required to use our mind in writing so our expressed ideas are easily understood. When we write we do this with a purpose; it could be to inform, persuade, entertain, explain, narrate or to describe something. Sometimes the writing could be more than one purpose – but the primary purpose should not be ignored. Here are more creative writing worksheets which can help you write better.
