“…For instance, creative writing has been described as offering a therapeutic process (Bishop, 1993), and reading of poetry and fiction has been implicated in enhancing understanding of, and empathy toward, others (Djikic, Oatley, & Moldoveanu, 2013;Hanauer, 2003;Johnson, 2013). Far from an activity foreign to scientists and innovators, creative writing occurs in industry and higher education, for instance in the form of science fiction prototyping (Atherton, 2016;Draudt et al, 2015;Kymalainen et al, 2015). Creative writing has also been linked to changes in persuasive writing performance and writing metacognition (Iida, 2012), and Alshreif and Nicholes (2017) found that students expressed feelings of enhanced metacognition after writing poetry and short stories in the areas of writingstrategy effectiveness awareness and perceived quality of final drafts.…”
