A gentle, imaginative introduction to the skills all creative writers need. Breaking down the elements that go into successful imaginative works, The Creative Writer leads aspiring writers through the skills needed to construct each.

In his Gold recording, "The Strangest Secret" Earl Nightingale referred to what he considered key references for anyone who really wanted to understand the concepts he was discussing. Included here: Dorothea Brande's other bestseller, "Becoming A Writer" gives real meaning to her own journey that "Wake Up and Live!" started. Claude Bristol's "TNT - It Rocks the Earth" is included, along with a review of his "Magic of Believing"... Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" was last updated by Hill's "Grow Rich With Peace of Mind" - a review of this is included, as well as a book by one of his students, who solved the underlying flaw in Hill's classic - James Breckenridge Jones' "If You Can Count to Four..." The point of this single volume is to give you all the tools in one place so you can radically and quickly speed your progress toward remarkable states of abundance and prosperity - as well as unflappable calm and confidence.

Marie Shedlock examines the real secrets behind telling a story that engages the audience - not only capturing and communicating the drama, but also how to select and craft the story which keeps them riveted to the very end. Dr. Robert C. Worstell paired these classics to give the fiction writer the needed tools in one single volume for ready reference and use: tabbed, dog-eared, and highlighted.

What could you accomplish if you knew for a fact that you would succeed at anything you set out to do? This is the formula which Dorothea Brande discovered for herself, and by applying it changed her life from one where she considered herself to be a personal failure into one of being a noted success. Her book, "Becoming A Writer" is still in print today, and is held as a cornerstone book for beginning authors to absorb while they master the disciplines of writing fiction - or anything else. And her experiences in teaching a class of fiction writers was "grist for the mill" as she studied success itself. I ran into Brande's "Wake Up and Live!" when tracing the influence of Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich". Earl Nightingale found a copy of Hill's book and went on to yet another success, crediting Hill for the positive influence. In Nightingale's subsequent Gold recording "The Strangest Secret", he mentions "Wake Up and Live" as a key book to study. Get Your Copy Now.
