Produktbeschreibung

The Way To Begin is a concise, revealing guide to getting that story idea out of your head and onto paper or screen. Ideas are easy, words are hard, especially for beginning and new writers. The approach begins with an overview of why 'beginning' can be difficult for writers of any level, the difference between a story idea and a story, explains the key factors in story and character development, explains the formula writers can follow to understand the story they're trying to create, and reveals how to elevate creative writing to author-worthy prose.
