Ever wonder where novelists, poets, and other writers get their ideas? Author Dana Meachen Rau explores how some writers take ordinary things and make them special, and how others use their imaginations to create new worlds for readers to explore. From short stories to poetry and personal narratives, the basics of a variety of creative writing styles and terms are explained, along with suggestions for facing the "scary blank page" and making writing more exciting.
