Fundamentals of creative writing: dialogue

Dialogue is selective. It is not reported speech which is usually full of inanities, repetitions, and often involves people talking over each other.

Fundamentals of creative writing: setting

Choose the setting to reflect the style of the story as well as the time/era in which it is set.

Books for writers

  These books aren’t about writing

Seeking permission

It’s tough to be selfish. 

Creativity quotes

To be creative you have to be free to think.
