Write Compelling Plots - Apthorpe, Amanda

. .

Résumé :
We are enthralled by stories - tales told around the campfire, acted on stage, written down, filmed, painted, danced and sung. Why? Because we want to be entertained, to be inspired, to escape, to enter virtual worlds, to understand and to relate to others like and unlike ourselves. It's said that there are only seven storylines, but those seven have generated an extraordinary number of tales because their creators have told them from their own perspectives, their own point of difference. The fourth book in Amanda Apthorpe's Write This Way series, 'Write Compelling Plots', identifies the difference between plot and story, guides external and internal structural organisation and explains the significance of the narrative arc. You will discover how your central character's desire, their limitations and their fear entwine to create the conflict that will drive your story. Drawing on the content within these pages, and your own point of difference, you too can create compelling plots. In addition, this book explores the elements of setting and description. Part 3: Editing Toolbox identifies and corrects common editing errors in creative writing. This is the large print edition of Large Print Paperback Edition, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.
