DESCRIPTION:
“‘Why shouldn’t good writing be hard? It’s our attempt at salvation,’ Lee Martin says in this exceptional book. Martin, through craft lessons, exercises, and literary examples, helps writers discover salvation one carefully selected word at a time.”—Sue William Silverman, author of Fearless Confessions: A Writer’s Guide to Memoir
By focusing on that purpose, Martin contends, the journey will always take you where you’re meant to go. Most important, Telling Stories emphasizes that you are not alone on this journey and that writers must remain focused on what they love: the process of moving words on the page. . Telling Stories is intended for anyone interested in thinking more about the elements of storytelling in short stories, novels, and memoirs. His discussion of the craft in his own life draws from experiences, memories, and stories to provide a more personal perspective on the elements of writing. A prolific and award-winning writer, Lee Martin has put pen to paper to offer his wisdom, honed during thirty years of teaching the oh-so-elusive art of writing. Martin provides encouragement by sharing what he’s learned from his journey
