Editorial Reviews for No Experience Necessary Writer's Course A unique stress-free approach for anyone who has ever wanted to write.
Consumer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: No experience writing Comment: I'm satisfied with "The No-Experience-Necessary Writer's Course" book. It was very thorough and explained quite a lot on how get started in writing anything. The exercises throughout and at the back of the book are very interesting, yet quite challenging. It has to be challenging enough in order to get one's imagination flowing and keep on going, going, going. Besides, it's great fun to write; especially fiction for me. I would recommend this book to anybody who has always wanted to learn to write. Customer Rating: Summary: This the book that started me on the path to a writing degree Comment: This is the very first "How to write" book I ever read. I found it in a bookstore in the early 90s and bought it on a whim. It's marvelous. It smashed through all the "But what if I suck?" and "I can't call myself a real writer if no one has ever seen my work!" stuff in my head. I spent a summer doing the exercises and mulling over the advice, then headed back to college and changed my major from history to English. When asked for my chosen concentration, I said, "creative writing," with no hesitance or fear. This is a basic book that doesn't go into any major depths - you will need more specific books about creative nonfiction, poetry, or fiction for that - but it will get you to see yourself as capable of mastering the craft. Customer Rating: Summary: Very helpful and fun. Comment: I love, love, love this book. The information is helpful and each exercise has been fun to do. Hope it helps me with my writing dreams. Customer Rating: Summary: If you write, you're a writer... Comment: This book goes a long way to smash the myths around "being a writer." The author argues convincingly that published writers are not necessarily the best writers, and that just because you aren't published doesn't mean you're not a writer. He makes a distinction: writing is about words, publishing is about money. He then goes on to talk about the multifarious ways you can become a writer, overcome writer's guilt complex, writer's block, writers self-consciousness, the "I have to write the next important novel" syndrome and many others. In short, he excuses the art vs. entertainment squabble as rubbish for someone who just wants to write (one of my favorite sections is entitled "A Few Unkind but Well-Deserved Words about Literature"). He makes you feel as though you can cut through all of that garbage and actually produce something. Whether it's published or not is beyond the point (but he does talk briefly about selling your work if you want to). If you want to write something and are just plain confused about the entire monolithic subject, this is a good book to sit down and fly through in one sitting and then dip back into later when you need it. It is anything but pretentious and it will help you to write what you want to write.
