About this title

Synopsis

No other writing book offers the solid craft to guarantee a good story along with the intangible inner dimensions of wri Anyone is capable of finding a story. The plain fact is not everyone will invest the time and passion to write it down. A writer is one who writes, so make writing a priority for at least part of each day. In the next few chapters, I will focus on the craft of story. Though craft is, of course, necessary in creating a good story, please remember that it is only a tool allowing the writer to give expression to something much deeper, something uniquely his. Craft, in order to serve the vision, will become the bridge between earth and spirit so urgently needed today. ting. The Way of Story is an integrative approach to writing narrative illustrated with examples from various genres and insights from the author's own professional journey. Craft alone is not enough. What is not given sufficient focus in the teaching of writing today is the importance of the intangible dimensions and experiential invisibles of the inner process. It is the integration of both solid craft and experiential inner discovery that makes this book on writing unique for both author and audience.
