Hey Vipin, That is actually a very good question, seldom answered correctly. Creative writing is more of an imaginative, out of the box, story telling kind of writing where you would write a mind blowing article or story (imaginative, with narration, etc.) to maybe give your readers a fun time. It's mostly used for unofficial blogs, etc. However, content writing is quite different. The content you would write here would be based on true facts, information provided, existing information, news, the relevance of the subject, benefits, pros, cons, advantage, disadvantage, etc. This kind of writing is best suited for newspapers, magazines, websites, etc. I hope this helps. :-) read less

Creative is imaginative and "out of box" writing. Content writing is a broader term and it can cover any content - creative, ID, academic, technical - that one writes. Mathematically, creative is subset of content writing.

However, creative writing is beyond the regular ways of writing. It includes writer's fluency and unique thoughts, that are blended with literature...

In Creative Writing you are adding emotions and perspective where as in Content writing you are just conveying the information related to different aspects

For learning creative writing skills, does a person required to know strong written English?
To practice is to understand and drive with confidence. Written skills always give a breakeven path in what you deal with. Justify your capability to drive it, so it is evident if you take English as a medium to communicate

reading is my passion...Now I think of trying my luck in writing. I need advice
You don't need to train yourself in anything to write, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many writers and so many writing genres. Just feel free to pen down whatever is coming to your mind and it will be a masterpiece, I guarantee! :)
