While doing the first year or my MA in Creative Writing, I was told several times (especially at the beginning): this story would be great if we were in the 19th century but now you need to 'show' more than 'tell'. Have you come accross something similar? When you say you want to write something more 'real', is that what you mean? A question of technique? (Sorry if I'm asking too much... I'm just really interested in other people's creative process).Viennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17791600858674738910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399975357214970817.post-66947649444889573702009-06-29T16:19:18.391-04:002009-06-29T16:19:18.391-04:00I totally agree with you re: Morning pages.

I personally find it a bit frustrating the amount of rubbish that comes up in my morning pages, but every now and then there is a sentence which appears quite special, some tiny magic that wouldn't happen without the previous rubbish! It's nice to explore issues that otherwise would remain unsaid. I guess it's a process...<br /><br />Both your academic and creative books seem extremely interesting. I really enjoy 19th c literature. I understand you want to keep your anonimity.<br /><br />I have been writing my novel for two years now but the whole thing needs re-writing and even re-thinking.<br /><br />I love candles! Great reward! Post a picture too!<br /><br />Good luck with this week's writing!Viennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17791600858674738910noreply@blogger.com
