Crammed with crucial facts, ideas, and warnings never before
brought together into clear focus, this guide is not only fun to
read, but also work-boots practical. Not only inspiring, but
pinch-penny accurate. Not only optimistic, but report-card candid.
Not only kindly, but tattle-tale frank. It is an energizing tonic
for writers' weary brain cells. Every writer is important. Creative
Writing for People Who Can't Not Write is a book for every writer.
Topics in this lively blend of advice, inspiration, and scholarly
wit include: - the wonder of creativity - getting published, paid,
and read - why writing should be impossible - how to avoid looking
foolish in print - a sugar-coated history of the whimsical,
word-rich English language - the nature of poetry - the sixteen
writer-type temperaments - reflections from contemporary writers on
their work - a first-ever collation of pages of advice from C.S.
Lewis. Lewis once wrote to Lindskoog, "If you understand me so
well, you will understand other authors, too." Writers who read
Creative Writing for People Who Can't Not Write will agree with
Lewis' assessment of Kathryn Lindskoog's insight into the writing
life. And this book also passes Lindskoog's own test: "A good
writer is a graceful guest in a reader's brain."
