Computers and Creative Writing 


     In researching motivation in middle school creative writing students, I found that they especially enjoy writing on a computer.  In order to capitalize on this area of motivation, I began searching journals for ideas which could be incorporated into my creative writing lessons.  I was pleased to discover that many teachers are using the  internet for teaching creative writing.  In examining this issue, I explored books, journal articles, numerous websites, and postings on educational chatboards.  I also talked with other teachers who have taught creative writing using computers about how using  the internet has affected motivation in their students.
