Creative Writer

Can writing be taught? Lecturer Tom Fynn is trying his best against difficult odds but the life of this writer rarely runs smoothly. An affair with a student a secret career as a porn author a stalker who has vowed to destroy him a vendetta with a famous author and his quest to publish his masterpiece are occupying most of his time. Creative Writer reveals the little-voiced truths of the aspiring writer's existence: the triumphs and the disappointments the hard lessons learned the obsession with language . . . and the bizarre maniacs populating slush piles and postgraduate writing courses. If you've ever thought about writing a book read this one first.
