A total of five questions were asked and personal questionnaires were given to them soliciting their opinions about the creative writing process. At the end of the study, a content analysis was applied to the data, related codes were put together, and certain themes were obtained. After having obtained the themes, they were discussed leading to the finding that, in general, teachers cannot be considered to have no interest in creative writing process.
