Get That Novel Written
Here is one of the most comprehensive guides to the craft of novel-writing
you’ll ever read. In Donna’s follow-up to
Get That Novel Started you’ll discover not just how to get to know
your characters as if they were real people and what makes the juiciest
conflicts, but how to choose words with precision and for effect, and how
to avoid the dreaded “Barney Fife Syndrome,” which describes what can happen
when quirky secondary characters try to wrest your novel away from the
protagonist. Other topics include the many variations of point of view
available (there are more than you think) and how you can—and why you must—make
the stakes climb ever higher for your characters. Donna even addresses
such rarely-discussed topics as foreshadowing, dividing a book into chapters
and the modern writer's love of the present tense. Each chapter is divided
into “The Basics” and “The Finer Points” so that you can use the book at
your own pace, and each chapter ends with tips for rewriting as well as
exercises.
