How to write fiction that appeals to readers
Do you have a story in you? Do you know how to write it or how to tell it?
How to Create A Story has the answers.
Hank Quense, the author many short stories and novels and a lecturer tells you how to do it. He believes that stories come from the melding of three elements: getting ideas, story design and story-telling. Ideas have to come from the author. How To Create A Story covers the last two.
The course concentrates on developing characters including such rarely discussed requirements such as a dominant reader emotion, the character's biography and the crucially important emotional arc.
Plots are also covered in depth including techniques to help create them. Another topic discusses subplots and how to utilize them and how to nest them within the main plot.
A few of the main story design elements in the course include:
Learn how to develop fully rounded characters.
Learn what the mandatory requirements are for scenes
Learn how to develop character arcs and emotional arcs
Learn story-telling techniques that will increase the reader’s interest and enjoyment.
Learn why imagery is so important to the reader
Learn how to develop a story-with in-a-story by using the character arc
This list includes only a few of the elements covered by the lectures.
