Story Drills: Fiction Writing Exercises

A story is constructed from many different building blocks: characters, plot, setting, theme, chapters, scenes, action, dialogue, exposition-not to mention point of view, tense, style, tone, and voice. Stories are complex. There's a lot to learn. And once we learn the basics, we need practice-lots and lots of practice-before we can truly master the craft. Story Drills is packed with fundamental storytelling concepts and comprehensive writing exercises that will strengthen your storytelling skills. You'll learn the elements, principles, and techniques of storytelling; gain experience through writing practice; and get questions for further contemplation that will lead to a deeper understanding of the craft. Story Drills is designed to be used by individual writers or in the classroom. Whether you're an aspiring or experienced storyteller, this book will bolster your ability to write compelling tales that leave readers wanting more.
