Taught courses in creative writing are increasingly popular, ranging from one-day workshops to three- or four-year university degrees. The university program has become a common and popular addition to the English Field Of Study alongside such emphases as English education, technical writing, communication and professional writing. While some people still argue that true talent for writing cannot be taught, it is now generally accepted that it is possible to teach techniques which help people access or exploit their Creativity , from overcoming Writer's Block and generating random ideas, to understanding how standard genres of writing achieve their effects and structuring their work. The field has also made a way to teach young minds about the processes of editing and publishing such work. In fact, noted authors such as Michael Chabon are graduates of university creative writing programs. From the above attempt at definition, it is also clear that "creative writing" implies the possibility of "creative reading". A literary artifact whose author did not consider it creative may be read, ingenuously or disingenuously, as if it was written in a creative context. The reverse process can also be applied - often a kind of criticism analogous to "my five-year-old could have done that" - so creative writing, its definition and the ways that it is (or even the fact that it is) taught continue to be Controversial Issues in literary circles.
