I. Lecture Notes:
Creative writing is the expression of your thoughts and feelings in an
imaginative and poetic way. In creative writing, you will be making a lot of
descriptions. These descriptive details are necessary to make your writing clear
because they help create specific mood or emotions about people, places,
and events. They are called images and sensory impressions or symbols. The
use of imagery, diction, and figures of speech will help you imagine or relate
to some of your specific experiences
What is imagery?
Imagery appeals to the senses and describes in detail the things around
us through our senses. It uses figurative language to represent objects, actions,
and ideas in our senses. We use our senses in whatever we do and wherever
we go.
Visual is a picture in words; something that is concrete and can be seen.
1
Visual imagery includes color, shape, size, and pattern.

Example: He first saw her in his brother’s eyes.
Auditory is something that you can hear through your mind’s ears.
Auditory imagery includes enjoyable sound, noise, and silence.
Example: The palay stalks were losing their trampled, wind-swept look and
stirring into little, almost inaudible whispers.
Olfactory is something that you can smell through your mind’s nose. Olfactory
imagery includes fragrances and odors.
Example: The sweet aroma of black coffee from the kitchen is tempting me.
Gustatory is something that you can taste through your mind’s tongue.
Gustatory imagery includes sweetness, sourness, saltiness, spiciness, and
savoriness.
Example: I will never forget the spicy bagoong on top of sliced crunchy
mango.
Tactile is something that you can touch through your mind’s skin. Tactile
imagery includes temperature, texture, touch, and movement. (Literary Terms,
2015)
Example: It was a voice too deep and throaty for a woman but beneath it
one could detect a gentle, smooth nuance, soft as silk.
Choice of words often separates good writing from bad writing. Proper choice
of words helps the reader to understand the message clearly. It is called
diction or choice of words which are used appropriately to the context. The
wrong choice of words can change the message intended to the listener or
2
reader. To avoid misinterpretation, use strong and exact verbs, specific color,
Page

and appropriate use of adjectives and adverbs. (Aguila, Galan, & Wigley,
2017)
Examples:
Without strong and exact verb: Joshua’s gift was surprising his mother.
With strong and exact verbs: Joshua’s gift surprised his mother.
Without specific color: His red blood flows from the cross of salvation.
With specific color: His scarlet red blood flows from the cross of salvation.
Inappropriate use of adjective/adverb: The police shouted loudly to the
snatcher.
Appropriate use of adjective/adverb: The police shouted to the snatcher.
Figure of speech is a phrase or expression having different meanings than its

literal definition. It compares one thing to another which has meaning familiar
to the audience. (Literary Devices, 2013) Whenever you described something
by comparing it with something else, you are using it with figurative language.
Below are some of the common figurative languages used:
A simile uses the words “like” or “as” to compare one object or idea with
another to suggest they are alike.
Example: It was a voice too deep, gentle, smooth, and soft as silk.
The metaphor is comparing two different objects. A metaphor is more positive

– it says you are something.
Example: You are the apple of my eye.
Personification is a figure of speech in which a thing, an idea, or an animal is

given human traits and other personality.

Example: She noticed neither the twilight stealing into the patio nor the silence
Page
brooding over them.

Alliteration is derived from the Latin “Latira” which means “letters of the
alphabet”. It is the repetition of the same initial letter, sound or group of sounds
in a series of words.
Example: How stubborn, this younger brother of his, how hard-headed, fumed
Fabian as he felled stalk after stalk.
Onomatopoeia is the use of a word to describe or imitate a natural sound of

a thing. It makes the description more interesting.
Example: The moth fell to the ground, a mass of broken wings and fluttering
wing dust.
Hyperbole is an unreal exaggeration that no one would believe the statement

is true.
Example: He was so strong with those arms of steel that could throttle a spirited
horse into obedience.
