#1a. How would you define creative writing?
After examining the dictionary, whose definitions read:
2.
resulting from originality of thought, expression, etc.; imaginative: creative writing.
3.
originative; productive (usually fol. by of).
4.
Facetious. using or creating exaggerated or skewed data, information, etc.: creative bookkeeping.
and:
4.
such characters or matter with respect to style, kind, quality, etc.
7.
any written or printed paper, as a document or deed.
8.
literary or musical style, form, quality, technique, etc.: Her writing is stilted.
9.
a literary composition or production.
I conclude “creative writing” is a combination of those two: which means composing literature or what-have-you in an original manner.
1b.What are some of your examples of creative writing pieces?
My personal examples are The Female Specimen and Highly Strung, which I have composed in my past (ages 16 and 17 17 and 16 respectively, honestly ( ... )

"Hello?"
"Hello! I am looking for a Ms. Claire Binkley?"
"Hold on. [off phone] CLAAAAIIIRE!!!"
"Hellooo?" I asked suspiciously.
"Hey Claire. This is Barb. Where is the $800 you owe for April 2010?"
"Oh. That." I laughed in my high sopranino voice. "Your cheque is in the mail! Relax, Mrs. Longst."
"I need it now to categorise my paperwork for Taxes next week."
"I can't speed the US Postal Service, Mrs. Longst. I'm sorry. It should be in your retractiles by the end of the week!"
"Retra-... what?"
I cleared my throat. "Retractiles. Have a good day, Mrs. Longst." I hung up the phone.
Twenty seconds later, it rang again. The caller ID read "BARBARA LONGST 610 000 0000". I dismissed it. The answering machine would pick up.
I picked the phone back up. "Have you studied Zoology at all?"
Then I hung back up.
