Hey,
What things do you think would always be evident in a discovery creative writing piece that links to the question/stimulus and also earns 14/15 or 15/15? I know it's a pretty general question but further tips would be appreciated :)
THANK YOU!!!

How many words is a good amount? Mine has 650 at the moment. Is that too short?

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

Hey Dylan! 650 is on the lower end, but I've seen fantastic creatives in that word range. It depends on your writing style and how powerful your piece is. Most people will need a tad more to crack into the higher mark ranges, purely to get the required depth out of the concept. But that isn't a hard and fast rule :)
