Creative but directed
These pairings echo each other. Once again, we are dealing here with range (on the one hand) and purpose (on the other). Let’s spend another minute defining creativity.

Creative writing is the unfettered expression of the individual psyche. You can’t objectify it. So you can’t direct it.
