Creative Struggle

Creative struggle / Gavin Aung Than, 146 pgs.

A lovely little reminder that even the greats have struggled with creating. Each chapter talks about a specific person and their personal story with creating.  Mary Shelley struggled with the story she was writing as part of a contest.  She could not come up with anything  but was finally blessed with an idea that came to her in a dream.  This year we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the publishing of her dreamed story, you might have heard of it, "Frankenstein."  Sixteen other stories will convince you that you are in good company.  The last chapter is some advice from the author.
