To be able to break down the art of story telling - and give excellent examples, and prompts to put together your own examples to further drive home the point - this is a must read, online, and free resource.<BR/><BR/>Today I was recommended to get the Successful Novelist by David Morrell. The review from a fellow writer was very good and much inline with Stephen king's earlier mentioned work.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170193722932454605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-1884588162852491172008-12-11T18:18:00.000-07:002008-12-11T18:18:00.000-07:00This is a classic: The Art of Dramatic Writing by ...This is a classic: <A HREF="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Art-Of-Dramatic-Writing/Lajos-Egri/e/9780671213329" REL="nofollow">The Art of Dramatic Writing</A> by Lajos Egri<BR/><BR/>By the time I got to it, I already found out everything on my own, so it only validated what I already knew.<BR/><BR/>But I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to write -- or write better.Mike Canehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396654716615965650noreply@blogger.com
