An editor once told me that if you're going to take advice on writing, take it either from name-bestselling writers or gatekeepers such as acquiring editors or agents--not necessarily anyone who writes for Writer's Digest or has taught a writing class. Well, Hall is a published writer, but unlike other authors of books on fiction craft on my shelves (ie Stephen King and Elizabeth George) neither a "name" author nor one who I've read and personally admire. There's not much I have read elsewhere in this book either. It's staying on my shelves for two reasons. One, Hall has a more literary sensibility than many another writing book I've read--I like how he uses a lot of classic literature in his examples. (And examples of bad writing too--that's valuable). And I like his lists on the back of books to read :-) ( ) Simply the best, most complete how to write fiction book I've come across. Not only am I a better writer but I'm a better reader. I pick up on flaws in other authors writing and, most importantly, see what makes well written fiction so appealing. Few other how-to fiction books will give you examples of good writing and poor writing side by side. What sounds good to your ear before reading this book won't always at then end. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Think of your fiction like a clock, a marvel of mainsprings and wheels, pinions and pendulums. It's an extraordinary organization of diverse elements, channeling energy and tension into the regular coordination of action and reaction, rotating gears and moving hands. Oakley Hall, writing teacher emeritus, invites you as his apprentice to study fiction's inner workings, the pegs and screws upon which a good story depends. You'll find the elements of fiction examined and illuminated, with insights into how they must interact to create a distinctive story. In sharing lessons taught by years of experience and by citing examples from dozens of esteemed writers, Hall makes working alongside a master thoroughly pleasurable, as well as an invaluable opportunity to craft fiction that is tuned like a precision timepiece.
