about creative writing

all this fancy about english language had me thinking that one day i too would put up a fancy dress act of english and would have my spectators asking for more. but how much of this belief is fact and how much is imagination? excitement definitely surrounds the majestical English language but its ability to create celebrities like Salman Rushdie, amitav ghosh etc is quite limited. ok, some writings in english do make people sit up and take notice because of its great potential to engage the reader. But, fancying that everyone, using some tricks of trade and some luck, can produce a glittering work in english is not apt. Of course, the scope for creative writing in english is unending and one or two among us may knit a creative display which appeals the reader but the speed with which a notion - that creative writing is always possible by building up your vocabulary and juxtaposing words, themes etc - is spreading, is appalling. Believe me friends, creative writing in English is not that easy. Dont believe those people who sell you ideas on how to become a creative writer. English is much more than just a dress, which can be cut and re-stitched to look like a new dress. Becoming a creative writer or just a writer requires that you have your words in the right place and it is the individual writer who decides that right place. If you let someone else decide that, you may earn money but the joy of creation might fall a bit short of ecstacy.
