Fun and innovative exercises and prompts for creative writing
students. Once Upon a Time in the Twenty-First Century: Unexpected
Exercises in Creative Writing is a unique creative writing text
that will appeal to a wide range of readers and writers-from grade
nine through college and beyond. Successful creative writers from
numerous genres constructed these exercises, including poetry,
fiction, and creative nonfiction to one-act plays, song lyrics,
genre fiction, travel guides, comics and beyond. The exercises use
a broad range of creative approaches, aesthetics, and voices, all
with an emphasis on demystifying the writing process and having
fun. Editor Robin Behn has divided the book into three writing
sections: Genres and Forms, Sources and Methods, and Style and
Subject. In each section, Behn offers a brief introduction which
explains how to get started and specific ways to develop one's
writing. Each introduction is followed by extensive exercises that
draw on literature from classic to contemporary, as well as other
art forms and popular culture. Examples range from Flannery
O'Connor and Langston Hughes to Allen Ginsberg and Gertrude Stein,
from Jamaica Kincaid and James Joyce to Arlo Guthrie and Harryette
Mullen. Integrated within the exercises are apt examples of student
writings that have emerged from actual use of the exercises in both
the classroom and in writing groups. The book concludes with
general advice and direction on how to get published. Based on
years of hands-on experiences in the teaching of creative writing
in high schools, colleges, and after-school writing clubs, this
volume of exercises offers inestimable value to students and
teachers in the traditional classroom, as well as a growing number
of homeschoolers, those who are part of a writing club or group,
and independent writers and learners of all ages.
