Try writing an email to someone in 1700’s writing style – they won’t know what to do with it

Creative writing is not as easy as it seems. Many people like to read historical fiction novels and read the letters that one character writes to another. In fact, in the old days, people wrote very differently than they do today. Can you imagine writing a letter to someone in the style of writing that was used in the 1600s or 1700s? Well, maybe you could give it a try and see what you come up with.

For example, just to give you a taste of the style and refresh your memory, below is a creative writing practice letter for a creative writing coach.
 
Baroness of Barbuda,

I sincerely hope this letter finds you well and that you fulfill your destiny as there are too many ships missing at this time of year due to the terrible hurricane season. I find it unfortunate that you have reduced me to nothing more than a rich guy, simply because our family founded the first colonies. I dare say you are wonderfully blessed by God to have the benefits of the news as it rarely finds its way North. Here we have magnificent wild turkeys, however no chickens, a delight one can only dream of.
 
Perhaps by the grace of God soon we will be able to have such pleasures on the plate. In fact, a merchant ship will arrive next season, and our last corn crop was good for this time of year. Could you be so bold as to suggest that he have the local natives submit their writings to the news editors, as their time is valuable and he must attend to more pressing matters of running his Kingdom?

With the grace of God, I say goodbye to you with love,

Sir Lance-lots of items

As you can see, weaving such a card into a fictional historical story isn’t easy, but that’s not to say it can’t be done. Would this be considered a good try? Hmm? Well, okay, it’s a start, you see,
 
I’m trying to write a bit of historical fiction here, as it seems like creative writing isn’t my forte, well, unless it’s science fiction. So I guess I’d better practice a bit?
Can an online article writer write fiction in addition to articles for article marketing, even if most of what they write is nonfiction? Some say that writing is writing and once you can write well, you can work on your creative side. In my case, almost everything I write is nonfiction:

futuristic concepts

Business

Industry

Policy

editorial opinion

Philosophy

Science

Energy

Etc.

So if I’m going to write historical fiction, I’m going to need a coach and start talking to an eminently successful creative writing genius. Now you might want to know what advice I would give you when writing historical fiction, I would say the best way to get familiar with the era is to read actual writing from the exact period in which you will be creating your scene and characters. in.
 
Will you soon realize how flowery personal letters were in the past? It’s like everyone who was anybody back then could write well, nowadays people just text. It’s really interesting to read the collection of letters, papers, documents that led us to today, really amazing. Once you study a bit about the particular era, you can start practicing and becoming familiar with it. It’s not easy, but it may not be as hard as you think.
