O przepisywaniu literatury w programie nauczania twórczego pisania Close Reading/Reading Closely and Creative Writing. Re-writing of Literature in the Course of Study Creative Writing This paper is concerned with the methodological, practical and analytical dimension of creative writing training. Lectures and seminars for first year students Literary masterpieces of XX XXI Century, have been dedicated to the education of close reading skills, which is an introduction to the skills of creative writing, understood as re-writing, or re-formulation of canonical literary texts. Creative writing students have been instructed how to find their own voice on the margins of famous texts. This approach for creative writing education is presented by Nicholas Delbanco, author of The Sincerest Form. Writing Fiction by Imitation. Close reading and creative re-writing of canonical literary works is a significant exercise of stylization, pastiche, narrative modes, point-of-view technique, focalization and world and character building processes. Exercises like these are not only creative writing training but also a workout of critical thinking, based on influential paradigms like post-colonialism, feminism, cultural studies, due to the subversive potential of re-written literature. This is an interesting challenge for both sides of the education process: for students and for academic teachers. This paper is a review of analytical procedures, practical exercises, questions and issues which were given to students during a course on Literary masterpieces of XX XXI Century (dedicated to Lord Jim by J. Conrad, The Death in Venice by T. Mann; The Stranger by A. Camus) and an opportunity to present students short stories and exam task fragments. Key words: re-writing literature, close reading, creative writing, the anxiety of influence, apocrypha

While comparing the chosen examples, the author tries to show whether/ in what conditions fabricated or exaggerated facts lead to breaking a factographic pact between writer and reader. Key words: Polish contemporary narrative journalism; factographic pact; fiction in journalism

For people aged 85 or more and publishing on the Web (digital sages 80+) creative writing results in social media connection and new media inclusion. However, it is mainly an expression of intergenerational transfer in which seniors wisdom matches digital competences of their younger cooperators. Such model of seniors creative writing on the Web is illustrated by action research and metaphorically named silver digital content. Key words: digital divide, internet creativity, seniors, new media inclusion, social media
