:The quest for creativity means: abhorrence of plagiarism, preference for originality, rejection of stagnation and redundancy. It is a disquieting puzzle on how to achieve this feat among the sub-Saharan multilingual writers where English is a second language. The interference of the first Language (L1) with the second Language (L2) is all pervading. Everyone wants to display the artistic prowess in the writing skill. The resultant effects are writers plagiarizing, irrelevant content package, and illogical organization of ideas, incoherent facts and presentations of obsolete points of view. Attempt is made in this paper to presents the inherent highlights of the Cognitive Approach towards enhancing writers' confidence and independence writing. Hence the paper focuses on three variables - generative instinct development, creativity in writing and originality of write-ups. The first variable-generative instinct development will be made possible by giving vent to writers' innate ideas through the pre-writing techniques like Brainstorming, Observation, Imagining, and Watching of Movie. Ability to generate ideas will lead to creativity which is the second variable. All these eventually will culminate in the third variable which is originality.
