Here is a book about the craft of writing fiction that is
thoroughly useful from the first to the last page whether the
reader is a beginner, a seasoned writer, or a teacher of writing.
You will see how a work takes form and shape once you grasp the
principles of momentum, tension, and immediacy. "Tension," Stern
says, "is the mother of fiction. When tension and immediacy
combine, the story begins." Dialogue and action, beginnings and
endings, the true meaning of "write what you know," and a memorable
listing of don'ts for fiction writers are all covered. A special
section features an Alphabet for Writers: entries range from
Accuracy to Zigzag, with enlightening comments about such matters
as Cliffhangers, Point of View, Irony, and Transitions."
