READERS DIGEST VERSION OF HOW TO WRITE FICTION

2011/11/07

Damon-Eugene Rich

Interesting cross section of speakers. Strangely, this could be an outline for a book on creative writing. Feel good that if you listen to these snippets while you write, you can get to a rough draft. Other than this read, read, read. Read good plays. Read bad plays. Read popular plays. Read flops if you can get them. This is your checklist. Start writing. This is what this is. Sometimes I panic when starting on a new piece. Check, check-check, check. Then no need to review again until you start again next time. Enjoyable.
