Creative Writing - Quick Question!

[cherryred]

Hey cherry! Sorry I don't know how this got missed!

So, there is no formula for success in the Creative section. It's very much down to your personal style and your personal approach. But a 14/15 out of 15, in general, I'd expect:

- A non cliche exploration of a Discovery concept that is layered, has purpose, and embedded cleverly into the story
- Exceptional control of the mechanics of writing, not just correct grammar and syntax, but actively using the power of language to add to your story in meaningful ways
- Incorporating the stimulus/question in a way that is cohesive and feels natural

Thanks Jamon!
And just wondering, how many words did your creative writing piece contain?

It was 5 of the official BOSTES booklet pages... I'd wager it was about 800 words? I didn't prepare it beforehand so I am not sure!!
