Synopsis

Some people say that writing talent is innate and cannot be taught. This statement is only half true. There are too many people whose writing talents are wiped out later in life; there are also too many people who, after proper and appropriate training, gradually approach or embark on the path of being a writer. The focus of good writing training is not on teaching writing skills, but on inspiration and perception. It will stimulate the writer's imagination and thinking power to cultivate a deeper and more unique understanding of the world. These are the most essential and precious conditions for creating an excellent work. Writing is a slow and beautiful process, and learning to write is even more so. Open this book and open the door of "creative writing". We will start with a deeper exploration of ourselves, reorganize common problems in the writing process such as how to write, how to collect materials, how to obtain inspiration, etc. Listen to the experiences and insights shared by the author in the book, learn to form your own cognition through reading, experience and thinking, so as to examine your heart and find your future writing direction.

Reader comments

The views on writing mentioned in this book are very enlightening. It reminds me of the book "Wen Xin". Both books emphasize the need to cultivate deep and unique cognition in writing. The writing of "Creative Writing from Scratch" is concise and smooth, and the content in the book is also very practical, especially the suggestions on how to explore yourself and obtain inspiration. It is like a friendly writing mentor, guiding you to your own creative path.

Perfect, step-by-step, worth reading in depth, and very helpful for writing. I must buy a physical book and study it seriously. I believe that if you read this book thoroughly, you will not be far away from becoming a real writer!

It confirmed many vague thoughts. For example, once the characters in the novel took shape, they were no longer under my control. Instead, I became a bystander in his life, sharing his joys and sorrows. This is probably the whole joy of creation. [Love]

I talked about a lot of useful knowledge points and learned how to write a character from a descriptive perspective. This way of writing will make readers feel what kind of person this character is. How to write a book with an appropriate description range, what should be written first and what should be written last, and how to make readers comfortable. After watching it once, there are still many points that I don't quite understand, so I'm going to go back and watch it again.
