Category: What do you call non-creative writing?

  1. sutta43

    My blog is about different kinds of writing. I have several categories, many of them belongs to Writing - Creative - Writing - and then prose, haikus, stories and causeries. But then I also write about writing; writing exercises, how to create a good character and so on.

    Where to put haikus, prose, stories and chanceries is obvious, that belongs to the creative writing. But what do you call it when it is a piece of writing about writing? That is not creative, it is something else... but what?

    Thanks,

    Maggie

    The blog I need help with is swedishmaggie.wordpress.com.

    A topic like this, where you are wondering how to name tags or categories on your posts, where you are asking about advise about specific category and tag names, is not a technical question about how to use wordpress software.

    The forum you want to ask such questions is "Off Topic" where folks can give you advice about such subjective questions.

    I'll move this topic over there for you to continue the discussion.

    Some ideas:

    "The Craft"
    "About the Craft"
    "The Business of Writing"
    "Process"
