Synopsis

Creative writing for the beginning writer can be maddening business. Between writer’s block, procrastination, and frustration that what’s in your head isn't making it on the page, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and just give up. Therefore, STARTERS: A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO CREATIVE WRITING makes the process less mysterious and more do-able. The title Starters is like the starters part of a menu: easy-to-handle and bite-sized. After you “taste-test” creative non-fiction, poetry, fiction, and drama, you’ll have a portfolio that’s like a sampler plate from the starters menu of the vast buffet of creative writing. Let’s start. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Creative Non-Fiction Creative Non-Fiction Examples Poetry, with Examples Fiction Fiction Examples Drama, with Example Final Note & Recommended Resources
