I need help with writing a creative writing piece like a letter in regards to The Crucible.

I think that you are going to have to narrow this down a bit if you wish to receive any meaningful input on this particular task.  There are so many avenues to pursue with Miller's work and the construction of a creative writing piece.  Are you writing it from a specific person's point of view?  Can you choose?  I would think that writing it from Abigail's point of view after the dust had settled in the "trials" would be fascinating.  How about writing it from Proctor's point of view as he is being walked to his execution?  I think that a great letter could be written from Giles Corey as he is bring crushed, asking for "More weight."  If you cannot write it as a character, how about writing it from the point of view of an outsider who is observing the madness of the trials and the intense emotional energy being generated with false accusations.  I think that there are many levels upon which you can go with this and the only limitation you have is what is placed upon you.  I think that narrowing down where this can go would be a good start in terms of getting feedback.
