Making A Good Writer Great
author:Linda Seger
price: $11.96
BUY IT ON AMAZON.COM |
In any creative endeavor, a knowledge of craft by itself, no matter how sound or thorough, is simply not sufficient to allow for the creation and growth of truly original work. While craft may provide structural tools, it does not address the most basic and universal element of all artistic work-the creative process.
Designed not just to awaken creativity but to teach the writer the process of being a creative thinker within the context of screenwriting, this unique new addition to Linda Seger's highly popular collection of screenwriting books combines current theories of creativity with the practices of screenwriting, focusing on ways in which screenwriters can learn to think and work more creatively.
Through discussion, exercises and analysis of scripts, one is eased into understanding and working with such pivotal creative concepts as nonlinear thinking, visual thinking, metaphorical thinking, oppositional thinking and utilizing one's unconscious mind.
Making a Good Writer Great does just what its title professes-provides both novice and experienced writers with the means to expand their creative processes and write at a higher artistic level.
"Designed not just to awaken creativity, but to teach the writer the process of being creative within the context of screenwriting, this new, unique addition to Linda Seger's collection of books combines the tools necessary to learn how to think and write more creatively with indispensable screenwriting know-how."--BOOK JACKET.
This book combines craft and creativity and provides writers with the knowledge necessary to write at the highest artistic level. The exercises within can be reused time and again and push a writer to think outside the box.
Not a paint-by-numbers approach, instead this author guides you into unlocking and strengthening your own, original voice.
What are you waiting for? This is a great resource!
I've found so much inspiration in Making a Good Writer Great. Seger's words have helped me break through that brick wall. She is truly a light to see by. I can call myself a screenwriter once again.
I really enjoyed Making a Good Writer Great. I am a writer as well as a writing teacher and I think this book is unique and helpful to writers of all genres. I like the way Linda gets into the writer's creativity and enjoyed doing the exercises in the book. I will use some of them for myself as well as for my writing students. Keep up the great work, Linda!
