CREATIVE WRITING COURSE
(Eagle Productions NZ)
by craig lock
Ever wanted to write? A short story or perhaps even a book? Is there a talent for creative writing within you? How do you know if there is? Do you have some interesting experiences to share, your life story perhaps?
A brand new book (in progress - being written "on the go" *) about a writing journey: the story of the origins of the “original” Creative Writing Course (online) from1997/1998.
Also including the actual lessons# (just it first appeared on the www in 1997/8, which you can do in your own time to practically improve your writing skills.
# Ignore prices (from 1997/8). You got a bargain with this e-book!
* Still to be checked and proofread, but uploaded to Amazon today “as is”...just like my car (that’s a simile
by the way – btw)!.

“I know when a writer’s in trouble....when he resorts to writing about writing.”

“Everyone has some talent. What's rare is the courage to follow it to the dark places where it leads.”
― Erica Jong , author of Fear of Flying
There is a vast market of readers out there expectantly waiting for new information, insights and experiences - real people with whom you could share many interesting subjects. They might want to hear about your experiences, your thoughts, your unique ideas, and even perhaps the tale of your life...because I believe that everyone has some story within them just waiting to be told and shared.
So open up your inner world to them through creative writing. Unleash those creative talents within you.
This is your chance to begin.

“What(ever) you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”

"If the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, I'd type a little faster."
“Art is at the highest reach of one’s creative imagination.”
“Your only limits are your own imagination.”
Leonardo da Vinci once said: “Art is never finished, only abandoned.”
"I'd rather attempt something great and fail, rather than attempting nothing and succeed."
- Norman Vincent Peale
