GENERAL SKILL GUIDES

Creative writing

Creative writing is one of the most difficult things to learn and to teach. For some it comes naturally - their talent just shows up on the page - but for others it requires discipline and hard work. These guides are designed with the second group of people in mind, though the first group might benefit from them too. They do not contain ‘the secret’, the special sauce that leads to great art, but they do offer some advice and examples to help even the least creative person improve their fiction and non-fiction writing.
