Creative Writing Process
The creative writing process can be used to persuade, inform or express one’s opinions or beliefs.  To expect one creative writing piece to coincide with all who read it is not likely.  While the truth may be difficult to swallow, an author would hope that the reader could be inspired to respect a different perspective other than their own; however, high expectations and literal truths may not lead down a road of happiness for some readers.  Therefore, a creative writer cannot be held accountable to satisfy the reader’s expectation of factual accuracy or literal truth by the use of the writer’s narrative in their work.  Guilt can arguably be the main reason why individuals do not want to admit the truth.  Artist Terry Allen hits the nail on the head when his artwork is placed in front of a communications building in a creative writing piece by Laura Spencer.  A statue of a man standing on a briefcase, shoe in his mouth, tie in his face covering his eyes and his fingers in his ears.  In this day and age, we have all means of communications but ironically we are forgetting how to communicate.  This creative writing piece describes the controversy of a statue portraying a lack of communication in front of a communications building.  Would it be hard to believe that those who disagree with this artwork might be guilty of a lack of communication in their day-to-day lives?  If a creative writer portrays their perspective of truth, they would hope their words influence readers to support their work or strive to educate themselves more about it, if in fact their readers disagree, to find the truth on their own terms.
The truth is not always expected and when creative writing is used to inform or persuade their readers, writers will be met with readers who may be shocked to find that what they thought was true, may not be.  Reader’s may be inclined to seek out more information to confirm for themselves if they do not agree with the writer’s assessment.  In Thomas Powell’s findings, the process in which art is funded and artists chosen, is seemingly uneducated in some instances.  The painstaking steps to conclude placement and content of a public art piece is incredibly important.  Despite all of these apparent precautions, Mr. Powell is able to point out a few examples of art that may in fact be considered likeable, but due to placement or lack of planning of placement, has found itself misunderstood.  This article may alarm some readers that such decisions are, more frequent than not, being made at an astonishing rate.  This creative writing piece may persuade readers to get involved with their own local art funding processes and procedures to further bring awareness of the perspective that the writer is portraying.  The ultimate accomplishment of the writer is to enlighten readers with information that may not have been presented to them, keeping them uneducated regarding the information.
