Abstract: Whether dealing with their native or a foreign language, both teachers and students have consistently found writing skills to be difficult to achieve. Students are concerned about initiating and structuring their thoughts, while teachers struggle to inspire their students to improve their writing capabilities. Hence, this experimental study examined the effect of the creative writing technique at the B2 level by utilising web 2.0 tools on a digital platform. The primary goal of the research was to identify and explore the effect of digital creative writing on preparatory school students' writing skills, attitudes, and expectations toward writing. The study was conducted at a foundation university, where it involved 66 B2-level students. The data collection process encompassed writing skills quizzes as a pre-test and post-test, and the Turkish version of the Daly-Miller Writing Apprehension Test (adapted by Özbay & Zorbaz, 2011). The findings revealed that engaging in digital creative writing not only enhanced academic writing achievement but also decreased writing apprehension among students.
