Works of art move and inspire us to think in new ways. They're within anyone's reach — the techniques required to create works of art simply take time, thoughtfulness, and a willingness to experiment. This sequel to Selling's popular Writing from Within includes a summary of his basic method, which teaches people to write with the subject they know best: themselves. But Writing from Deeper Within contains advanced techniques, even letting students expand their personal work into full-length plays, memoirs, screenplays, or novels! Selling gets rid of the mystery behind creating great art by breaking the process down into easily understood steps. He shares techniques for backstory, creating strong characters, story pacing, exposition, denouement, developing unique voices within the same story, researching and writing family histories, using visual motifs, employing subtext, and separating the author from the main characters. This book helps all writers, new and old, turn their writing into art.
