About the book: 2020 / The book “How to become a writer” has long earned the status of a classic guide for aspiring authors. Since its publication in 1934, it has helped overcome the challenges that writers of all times face: fear of the blank page, creative stagnation, loss of inspiration, failure to realize a vision. Using time-tested techniques and exercises, Dorothea Brand shows how to discover your inexhaustible source of inspiration, access and tame the riches of irrational creativity. From the book you will learn how to create conditions for yourself to work productively and acquire useful writing habits; restore the sharpness and freshness of perception in order to always have material for books; read other authors correctly without falling into imitation; to properly rest, so that you can then create with renewed vigor, and much more. Published in Russian for the first time.
