Many people want to write a manuscript, but the idea of
exactly what to write and how to get started can be
overwhelming for beginning writing. The Complete Idiot's
Guide to Creative Writing was written with novices in
mind and it provides solid instruction from the ground up.
The book instructs beginners about characterization,
craft and inspiration and teaches them how to write short
stories, nonfiction, novels, articles, plays and poetry.
Advice is also given on topics such as rewriting, writer's
block and learning how to get published or self-published.
A practical approach is taken here: there are helpful exercises and charts, including
a character worksheet, plot diagram and story treatment
worksheet. Laurie E. Rozakis' easy, flowing style and
practical advice on all matters written--from agents to
editing--makes this book a great starter for writers looking to
write their first manuscript.
