As well as nuts and bolts advice, it includes chapters on journal writing,creativity and dreams. With dozens of writing books around, this one stands out for its greater range and depth, and its eminently readable style.' - Sarah Tierney, City Life

Format:Paperback
I found this book refreshing to read, at last, an inspirational and supportive approach. Great refreshing style and well presented. The ideas to generate 'that spark' are various and numerous and I would recommend it if you are starting or developing your writing. It covers a lot of ground but I think the emphasis of 'creative' is right. There are technical books if I want to know the intricacies of script writing or verse construction but they don't give the inspiration. This book does for me.
