Creative writing that shapes an experience, scene or character to engage a reader; its events may be real or invented.
Imaginative writing turns an experience into something a reader can picture, follow and respond to. The experience can be invented or based on real life. What matters is how you shape it: which details you select, how events or impressions develop, and what the reader understands or feels by the end.
