A reference manual with a fresh look at the ingredients that make fiction writing a craft and not just a classroom exercise in grammar. Topics embrace many problem areas where even seasoned writers have trouble, and solutions are presented. Numerous examples throughout the text and in appendices.
Magic is defined as that essence of imagination projecting us into the world of fantasy. Adult readers have a difficult time tapping into their “hidden child”, whereas adult moviegoers fare much better. Why? The answers will be found in this reference manual, Magic for Your Writing, a collection of tips and techniques that can make a striking and beneficial difference in your novel no matter the genre. Aimed primarily at struggling writers who are spinning their wheels, the manual will be helpful to seasoned writers as well. It focuses on reader expectations, discussing ways of helping adult readers step away from reality into the world of fantasy and keeping them there. The chapter on Point of View and Voice addresses widespread confusion about these important topics. Dialogue is covered at length, plus character development, scenes, smoothing “bumps in the road”, entrances and exits, second story lines, the dangers of making a plot up front, showing versus telling, author voice, and those troublemakers that spoil otherwise promising manuscripts. Examples are presented throughout the text and in appendices.
