Book Reviews of Characters, Emotion & Viewpoint: Techniques and Exercises for Crafting Dynamic Characters and Effective Viewpoints (Write Great Fiction)
Book Review: Characters-Emotions & Viewpoint
Summary: 5 Stars
I find this book invaluable for the novel I am writing, I purchased about a dozen grammar, fiction writing books on Amazon. I am plugging other Author's books and my own coming novel. I hope to sell it here on Amazon.
My navel: THE ROCK OF NEREID by Vincent J. Arcuri
Book Review: Elegant explanations and examples
Summary: 5 Stars
This guide was an easy read since the subject was broken into easy pieces for digestion. I was especially pleased with the literary examples of many classic and contemporary authors, which made obvious the understanding of principles explained in each chapter. This book substantially lifted my confidence in fiction writing technique.Book Review: Excellent aid for new writers
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm working on my first manuscript having written 4 full-length screenplays, so I bought this on a whim after reading reviews and ratings. I must say, I wouldn't be able to develop rich characters without this reference book. The steps to developing a character in a manuscript are different than on screen. I HIGHLY recommend this book, particularly to new writers.
Good luck!!!
Book Review: Excellent and easy to follow
Summary: 5 Stars
the book is written in a style that was easily understood, making it more applicable and worth every penny. There's a lot to learn to become proficient in our craft, and this book helps tremendously.
I highly recommend the entire series!
Book Review: Extremely well delivered advice
Summary: 5 Stars
As a beginning writer working on my first novel I'm constantly searching for "the book" on a particular facet of writing. As a general book for beginners, Gotham Writer's Workshop is great. However, this book takes its subject topics and provides insights that can be immediately applied to one's writing. Her chapters on point of view (POV) provide explanations that I have not found in other books. The chapters on character emotion are also very well written.
Buy this book, read it once through without doing the exercises. Then read it again, doing the exercises. You won't regret it.
