Description
You have a story to tell. Let it out!
Imagine developing a story and telling it in a way that will keep the readers turning the pages.
Hank Quense is the author of a number of highly regarded novels and often writes and lectures on fiction writing techniques. Based on his non-fiction book Creating Stories which has been praised by novices and published authors alike in this course, you’ll learn how to:
* Develop imagery the reader can use
* Build well-rounded characters the readers can relate to
* Create a path through the plot cloud
* Develop an emotional arc to keep readers on the edge of their seats
* write dramatic and effective scenes
* and much more
This story design process can be used on any type of story. It can be used to develop a short story, a novel, a script, a play and even a memoir.
After all, each of these types really is just a story, and all stories use the same story design elements.
The only difference between all these types of stories is the output. A novel manuscript is much different from a screen play, but both stories need to develop characters, a plot and must use all other elements as well.
