Bring Your
Fiction To Life by Karen S. Wiesner
Go deeper. Bring a
multi-layered perspective to your writing from the initial spark through to the
published launch. At whatever stage you are in your writing career this craft
book delivers a solid foundation, clear instruction, several practical suggestions,
and expert advice.
One of the qualities I most appreciate in Karen S. Wiesner’s books on
writing is her intense commitment to share and develop her personal experience.
She undergirds each concept with well-founded definitions, gives concrete published
examples to amplify them, and then offers high quality understandable
applications to follow.
Her ongoing feature of her books to include accessible worksheets goes
the extra mile here by giving authors readymade templates from which to
personalize. And she does not generalize them but gives specific details for
each skill set she develops.
Personally I found two particular areas I’d like to explore more in my
own work immediately. Wiesner points out that our blueprints are “just one of
many layers of your story.” Her ideas regarding examining them for cohesiveness
helps reduce uncertainty and laborious revision by catching the holes early on.
For career writers she has insightful suggestions for applying the multilayered
approach to all our stages and projects to produce quality consistently.
Taking the time to recognize the potential benefit of
three-dimensional characters, plots, settings, scenes, marketing, goals, and
personal process, is valuable time spent to truly develop stories that readers
can’t resist. Enjoy.
Read deep,
marcy
