"the making of a story" A Norton Guide to Creative Writing


I bought this book a couple of years ago. I guess it was the 677 pages that put me off. However, having completed my last project, I was looking what to do next, and Alice LaPlante's intimidating volume was there, staring at me from the bookshelves.

It has wonderful reviews, and not too many exercises, thank goodness. So I dived in, created a Word document and started. So far I have completed the two exercises for Chapter 1. Only thirteen chapters left to go. Will I get distracted or will I persevere. Watch this space.
