Creative Writing1
When I saw the title, I thought "great, finally a book that is going to help me ,to teach me what I need to know in order to become a writer".But I'm afraid the title of this book is misleading.It not only failed to help me in any way,it confused and bored me to tears. I tried to get through the whole book, but the darn thing was so confusing and boring, that I finally gave up in frustration! That's when I picked up Immediate Fiction by Jerry Cleaver and WOW!If you want to learn to write fiction, this is the book for you!As for " Creative Writing Coursebook", don't waste your money.All you will get are so called "experts" pontificating on how what they have written, and most of them use words that go way over your head.They seem to be more interested in impressing you with their use of language rather than teaching!
