Carlos Inigo Roxas Review Brainard’s Fundamentals of Creative Writing, Revised and Expanded Edition

August 31, 2024 by admin Leave a Comment

Many thanks to Mani­la writer Car­los Ini­go Rox­as who wrote this lengthy arti­cle for the Inquir­er Lifestyle about the release of my FUNDAMENTALS OF CREATIVE WRITING, REVISED AND EXPANDED EDITION.
“In the book, I saw a del­i­cate bal­ance between show and tell. The exam­ples show Brainard’s mas­tery of the craft and shines a light for aspir­ing writers.
As a young novice writer myself, I find this work of Brainard, along with her nov­els and short sto­ries, to be appeal­ing. With “Fun­da­men­tals of Cre­ative Writ­ing (Revised and Expand­ed Edi­tion),” one can learn and enjoy the process of learn­ing.” ~Car­los Ini­go T. Rox­as, Inquir­er Lifestyle, Mani­la, 9/1/24
The book is avail­able from https://www.amazon.com/dp/1953716415

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
