The Making of a Story is a fresh and inspiring guide to the basics
of creative writing both fiction and creative nonfiction. Its
hands-on, completely accessible approach walks writers through each
stage of the creative process, from the initial triggering idea to
the revision of the final manuscript. It is unique in combing the
three main aspects of creative writing instruction: process
(finding inspiration, getting ideas on the page), craft (specific
techniques like characterization), and anthology (learning by
reading masters of the form). Succinct, clear definitions of basic
terms of fiction are accompanied by examples, including excerpts
from masterpieces of short fiction and essays as well as
contemporary novels. A special highlight is Alice LaPlante's
systematic debunking of many of the so-called rules of creative
writing. This book is perfect for writers working alone as well as
for creative writing classes, both introductory and advanced.
