Really solid guidance for writing fiction; recommend for writers and aspiring writers who want to work on improving mastery of writing various elements of craft ( ) If you've read comprehensive writing craft books, then do yourself a favor and dive into this book on creating scenes. There are many books on plot and character but hardly any on crafting the crucial scene. Chock-full of techniques and examples. Describes core scene elements (setting, five senses, character (GMC), plot, subtext (for example, theme and the character subconscious), dramatic tension) and then uses them to describe some of the major scene types. Well-organized; lots of lists and headings makes finding the right information a breeze. Excellent tips on scene revision--for example, how to revise a vignette that doesn't add to the plot and character arcs. Includes a revision checklist. I bought a copy. This is one of the more useful Writer's Digest sponsored books on the topic of scene-writing. While far longer than many of the scene-writing books being published today, it does not waste words, but leads you brick by brick through the process of first baking bricks, and then how to stack them to create a complete, fulfilling story. Each topic is explained concisely, examples are given, and then the topics learned in each chapter are summarized at the end. I've already got a few sections dog-eared for future reference and anticipate I'll refer back to it often. My only complaint is the examples skewed towards more 'literary' fiction, much of which I have never read. It did not detract at all from my understanding of the lesson, but I noticed I enjoyed more the examples which had been drawn from books with which I was familiar as with those examples I had a more complete picture. Writing scenes that move your story forward is given in many examples. Different scene structures listed with their components, is a valuable reference tool for completion of a novel. Individually scenes may be intense or mild, contemplative or dramatic, but when they are used in combination, they form a fantastic narrative that feels rich and complex. Entertain and inform the reader through clear and powerful scenes. This book should help build a vivid scene, and link each of your scenes to create a compelling narrative that will engage the reader. When researching for my novels, this book can help keep structure in my research, and reference as needed throughout my writing. I own a copy of this book and appreciate the expertise in its writing. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
