Let the Crazy Child Write!: Finding Your Creative Writing VoiceTwelve lively, in-depth chapters reveal how following our untrained impulses — our creative unconscious or "Crazy Child" — gives an authentic grasp on writing stories, poems, plays, and essays. Let the Crazy Child Write! introduces exercises that explicitly tap this knowledge and also presents guidelines on how to give, and receive, constructive feedback. This is the first how-to-write text to give full credit to the creative unconscious since Becoming a Writer, the 1934 classic by Dorothea Brande. Matson goes further by developing writing techniques step by step: Image Detail, Slow Motion, Hook, Persona Writing, Point of View, Dialogue, Plot, Narrative Presence, Good Clichés, Character, Surrealism, and Resolution. |

EUDORA WELTY, Place in Fiction Repeated Image Detail It may be powerful to repeat an image detail. This is especially true if the detail is changed slightly when it reappears; it has a way of adding meaning to itself.

Image detail can make a story powerful, and your characters probably know this. In these speeches from Sam Shepard's play Buried Child, physical details add texture and impact: Vince: . . . What is this anyway?

I use cat scratches on a couch, a Naugahyde cushion, a penknife, ions on a light bulb — and ask which of these details are the most powerful. My broader point is to demonstrate that your Crazy Child knows instinctively about seeing and ...
