What's the Story? (eBook, PDF)

Try your Hand at Fiction and Learn the Art of Writing

Produktbeschreibung

Have you ever thought that you might want to write a story but simply couldn't find a way to get started? This book, What's the Story?, just might launch you on the road to writing fiction. It consists of twenty casts of characters - made up of three to seven personages, with each character described in a paragraph. Both the individuals and the casts differ greatly from one another. Most are presented as currently living in various locations across America; others are no longer alive or are set in different parts of the world. No group of characters suggests any particular story, but rather hints inconclusively at numerous possibilities. The given information is designed to prod the imagination without constraining its flight. The witty drawings that accompany the casts should inspire readers to try their hands at fiction and learn the art of writing.
