4.0 out of 5 stars Quick and easy reading. 4 Mar 2013
By Mr. Scott Main-reade

I have read many books on creative writing - this one is slightly different. You will not learn now to write a novel step by step but your thought process about your creative writing will be tested. A good little read worth a day of your time.

When we set out to write, we do not do so out of a sense of certainty but out of a kind of radical uncertainty. We do not set out saying: “The world is like this.” But asking: “How is the world?” &quote;

A story is just the stuff that happened; plot is the intrigue of how and why. &quote;

To construct a point of view, in other words, first you must establish what is not a matter of opinion, what is true. &quote;
