As we previously discussed some methods and topics (especially for bloggers) which are very good to kick start up the writing now we will discuss about the typeof writings. Yes, that's true! Writing has also variouskinds of types. In college days and even now whenever you will ask to someone "Hey! What type of writing do you like?" they will answer in a sporadic manner as "I like-fiction, romance, Mills & Boon, biography, poetry, slang content writing & bla bla bla...".
So now you can see the difference, people don't know about types and categories of writing and that is the reason why they couldn't come up with an idea about which topic they should write. So first of all, here I'll give you the brief introduction of categories of writing, please note that it is not an educational category structure but a simplified categorization designed by me that includes both traditional writing phenomena and modern writing concepts.

So first of all I am going to write the forms of writing that you all know very well-
Fiction - Based on hypothetical conditions and events as "The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells, "Famous Five" by Enid Blyton "Twilight" & other novels such as published by "Mills & Boon", so you can understand these are just stories which have no relation with a living or dead person as though they could be inspired from real lives or theories or inspire the world such as "Time Machine" of H.G. Wells inspired many movies' stories like "Back To The Future", "17 Again"and many stories published by Marvel & DC Comics. Apart from this, in Hindi literature you would like many stories written by Jai Shankar Prasad- "Kankaal", Munshi Premchand-"Gau Daan" & many others by Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyaya
If fiction is like based on a "true story" while you can't decide the authenticity of story then you can refer it as 'Semi Fiction'.
Non-fiction - This category includes the real stories as it is not a vivid of someone's thinking only, but a real opinion inspired by a true incident and conditions. This generally includes informative work and writer takes responsibility of authenticity. Non-fiction is-
- Biography
- Auto-biography
- Travel books
- Reminiscence
- Historic facts and incidents
- Journals
- Essays and articles on an issue or art
- This is just major types of non-fiction that you'll see in general.
Poetry- Poetry is something that is considered the very highest form of literary art. It needs imagination and good knowledge of Vocab and Grammar. It uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of literature. Manypoets are there that you should read like: Oscar Wilde, William Shakespeare, Mahadevi Verma(Chayavadi Yug), Suryakant Tripathi Nirala (Gandhiwadi), Jai Shankar Prasad (Ojaswi Dhaara), Ghalib (Sher-O-Shayari).
Traditional writing styles are very basics and famous style & one who understands the concepts of the writing, they can easily act as a wordsmith, they can blend the literature in a creative form and derive other new styles as Ghalib, Mahadevi Verma and William Shakespeare.
These are some things that you need to know about literature before getting started. Next time I'll share modern writing styles with you as content writing. So give a sigh of a bliss and sit tight to read more.
