Opis

Works of art move and inspire us to think in new ways. And their creation is within your reach -- the techniques required to create works of art simply take time, thoughtfulness, and a willingness to experiment. This sequel to Selling's popular Writing from Within includes a summary of his basic method which teaches you to write using the subject you know best: yourself. But Writing from Deeper Within also contains more advanced techniques that will show you how to expand your personal work into full-length plays, memoirs, screenplays, or novels.

Selling gets rid of the mystery behind creating great art, by breaking the process down into easily understood steps. He shares techniques for backstory, creating strong characters, story pacing, exposition, denouement, developing unique voices within the same story, researching and writing family histories, using visual motifs, employing subtext, and separating the author from the main characters. Whether you have been writing for years and want to continue to improve or are just starting out, Writing from Deeper Within will help you turn what ever you are writing into a work of art.
