Episode 102 - Lovely sentence-by-sentence writing, and pumping up our creativity.

from Essential Guide to Writing a Novel · host James Thayer

Most of us subscribe to the our-words-should-be-a-clear-window-to-the-story technique but some writers intentionally make their sentences beautiful so that we think about the words on the page.  Here are some thoughts on writing beautiful sentences.  Also, how can we pump up our creativity so as to get us off the dime regarding our plotting?  And Edna Ferber's striking character descriptions.  Here is a 20-episode master class on fiction writing—a start-to-finish course covering plot, characters, dialogue, scenes, sentence-level craft, and much more.  Each episode is focused and about 30 minutes.  The full class—all 20 episodes—is available now for a one-time price of forty-nine dollars.  If you want structured, concise guidance, click the Buy the Master Class link in the show notes to get started.Support the showBuy the master class.
