Fiction-Writing Modes: Eleven essential ... *I received a copy from the author for review. This in no way affects my review*

Another great read that I plan to keep close by! As I start writing again, I find that there are many things to be learned, and like any art or craft, writing takes practice, but more than that, it helps to have a mentor. So I seek out books like this to help me learn, and to better understand what all goes into writing a book. This book has eleven different aspects of writing fiction that every author should know. From sensation and emotion, to action, description, and narration, to name a few. All these and more are important in all works of fiction. Seeing them broken down and laid out helped me better realized not only that they are all important, but also when and where each should be used.

Stephen King approaches the subject of writing in a conversational tone. Most books on writing aim to teach you their interpretation of acceptable practices. Stephen King's book is similar to the advice given from a respected person you sought out. As a result, the lessons were easily digested and shelved for future consideration.

 

This is a must have for any author wishing to untangle the mystery of writing.

Whatever good it does me. LOL. Will always continue to read this book.
