Take Control of Your Fiction
&
Let Me Show You How.
Let me ask you:
What do you think makes for a great
story?
Can the process of writing a great
story be broken down into simple
components - that can be taught?
They say the craft of writing
can be learned - but not genius.
I disagree. My philosophy
has always been that the more we write, the
better we get. And that perceived
genius is a mere by-product of
consistent, directed action towards the
goal of perfection.
It is only critics (who probably can't
write fiction anyway) that believe that
genius is somehow 'bestowed' upon the
lucky few. Tosh!
You Can Write
a Work of Genius!
The Art of Story will teach you:
* The techniques employed
by all great fiction writers
* The simple secret
of apparent genius
* How to
design compelling novels and short
stories
* How to totally win
over editors and publishers
* How to ensure long
term fiction writing success.
Module One: "Theme,
Purpose and Perspective"
First, we examine the mechanics of story
form. We look at which forms are appropriate
for your own stories - with tips on how best
to achieve excellent and compelling results.
We will also examine writing disciplines for
short, medium and longer works. Plus, how
different genres require differing
approaches.
Module Two: "Story
Essence and Idea Development"
Here we
look at practical issues. How to develop
characters and their agendas into plot.
We study point of view and the narrator's
perspective. How to plan and brainstorm
ideas to find the heart and soul of your
story.
We
analyze structure versus content, consider
style, tone and sensory density. We ask,
what's the difference being literary fiction
and commercial storytelling - and which
is your speciality?
Module Three:
"Construction and Meaning, Practical
Tips"
Still
on the practicalities of writing, we examine
literary techiques: the use of words as tools
or descriptors. How lack of distance between
the reader and the writer is achieved. We
look also at creating character empathy, the
use of imagery, and conveying meaning
through metaphor and the use of simile.
Crucial
info on the elements of story. The effective
stringing together of story 'beats' like
scenes, events and transitions. How to pace
and build intensity from the beginning,
through the middle, to a satisfactory and
climactic end.
Tips
on how you can vary dialogue - advice on
internal dialogue and how to convey the inner
journey of the characters without the use of
exposition. Also, show don't tell - and when
this is inappropriate.
Module Four: "Message and Market
Considerations"
Finally,
we indulge in a fascinating treatise on
inspiration versus method, where we learn
about the rhythm and resonance of the
author's voice versus the cadence of
character.
We
look at market relevance, the importance of
objectivity in your message - and your quest
for literary immortality.
Throughout the course I cover writer's
motives for telling great stories, plus other
more practical issues like how to achieve
the writer's mindset, and the use of
templates for the effective planning and
execution of your stories.
Other topics include
establishing convincing timelines,
scenarios, creating subplots, foreshadowing,
and developing relationships, mystery and
suspense.
Plus, as you'd expect
from me, a wealth of discussion
on originality, integrity, self belief,
inspiration, and maintaining motivation and
commitment to your writing.
