Fiction Writing, Volumes I and II
There couldn't be better companions than these for an adventure into the world of writing novels and short stories. These two volumes take as their starting point one of fiction's chief aims: to enter the reader's mind and create an emotional experience. You'll learn how to build on the basic patterns of story-telling, how to capitalize on the fact that readers like to be thrilled, amused, terrified, angered, saddened--like to share the feelings of the characters they read about. They want to know what the characters look like, what adventures they encounter, how they are moved by inner struggles, why they act the way they do.
As
you grow in your knowledge of how to write fiction, you'll be practicing
one of our most valuable crafts--one that puts thoughts and feelings
into the human record. On its light side, fiction entertains, relaxes
and offers escape from the problems of daily life. On its profound side
it reforms, uplifts and enlightens. The two volumes of your Fiction

you can imagine.
