Creative and Critical Thinking

• If you can't think, you can't write.
• If you don't think before you write, you could end up spewing verbiage that remains an unfinished draft that doesn't captivate readers or audience.
• If you don't develop critical thinking skills, your expressions could wander around aimlessly and lack depth.
• Without creative thinking skills, your writing unique writing voice will not be expressed.

Developing your creative and critical thinking skills will enhance your writing before you put words on the page. Consider outlining, mapping or even making notes before you begin, even if you find a need to veer in a different direction.

The map is not the territory.
