Let the Crazy Child Write!: Finding Your Creative Writing Voice

Let the Crazy Child Write! grew out of hundreds of creative writing workshops that Clive Matson has led during his career as poet and writer. Here he guides readers — as individuals or in groups — through twelve seminars designed to overcome inhibitions, locate hidden originality, and find a true creative writing voice. Let the Crazy Child Write! links the playful energy of the creative unconscious — essential to strong writing — to a solid, in-depth course of writing basics: Image Detail, Slow Motion, Hook, Persona Writing, Point of View, Dialogue, Plot, Narrative Presence, Good Clichés, Character, Surrealism, and Resolution. It is a comprehensive, hands-on — and fun — working seminar that will help both novices and professionals improve their writing abilities and unleash their creativity.
