Please discuss how the elements of fiction writing (including but not limited to: characterization, plot, setting, dialogue) differ from the elements of creative nonfiction writing.

1) Revising. This process includes reconsidering and making corrections or alterations in the form or content of a manuscript.

2) Drafting. This part of the writing process involves the preparation of a preliminary manuscript with a fully developed idea. Once you have a draft, you revise it and submit the final document.

3) Personal Essay. On this essay, Stafford writes about his personal experience as a writer and gives advice on the writing process.

4) Nature Writing. The essay would deal with the life of the caribou, which is part of the natural enviroment and the relationship between the caribou with the enviroment.

5) Travel writing. This kind of writing includes the experiences and descriptions of a place that a writer has visited. The focus is on the place itself and how it is unique or special for the writer that has visited it.

6) Creative nonfiction.This form of writing is based on facts but also presents them on florid prose and its main aim is to entertain rather than inform.

7) Creative nonfiction & fiction. Nonfiction uses rather dull prose because its aim is to present the facts and inform. On the other hand, as I have stated above, creative nonfiction and fiction use figurative language becaue the main aim is to entertain the reader or to convey an idea in a literary style.

8) Fiction. While creative nonfiction and nonfiction must rely on facts and actual information, fiction is a more flexible kind of writing that can make up plots, characters and basically any aspect.

9) Both a and b. While dialogue is an integral part of fiction, like drama or novels, creative nonfiction can also include dialogue between characters as a way to present facts or actual infomation to the reader.

10) What do you think your strenghts are? As a writer should you should be aware of your strenghts and limitations in order to know which aspects you can cover with your writing and which are your weak points in order to improve them.
