ABSTRACT
As a creative writer, readers are logically committed to two fundamentals – writing and to the active use of their imagination. The two fundamentals in creative writing – writing and the imagination – brought together by their decision to be a creative writer, are therefore, certainly significant in themselves. Inscription is clearly fundamental to creative writing in that it refers directly to the act of preserving an utterance by engraving, imprinting or indeed by writing. For much of the world, learning about writing, and about how to do it, has been part of the core educational experiences passed on from one generation to another. Literacy, as it relates to understanding writing and to reading inscribed words, and to being able to write in ways that are understandable and therefore exchangeable with others, has for some time been considered an important personal, communal and societal skill indicative of advanced cultures.
