Description
Do you have a story in you?Do you know how to write it or how to tell it?Creating Stories has the answers. Hank Quense, the author of more than twenty books, tells you how to do it. He believes that stories come from the melding of three elements: getting ideas, story design and story-telling. Ideas have to come from the author. Creating Stories covers the last two. The book concentrates on developing characters including such rarely discussed requirements such as a dominant reader emotion and the character's biography.Plots are also covered in depth and a number of graphics are included to illustrate complex points. Another topic discusses subplots and how to utilize them and how to nest them within the main plot.A separate chapter discusses the relationship between the plot and the emotional arcs.Other topics covered are: character arcs, scene design, point-of-view, writing voice.

Hank Quense is an author and lecturer. He has been writing fiction and non-fiction for over 20 years. He has been self-publishing for over 12 years and has his own imprint, Strange Worlds Publishing. His sci-fi and fantasy novels are all humorous or satiric. His non-fiction and lectures focus on fiction writing, self-publishing and book marketing.Over the years, Hank has created a wealth of material on writing, publishing and marketing. Last year, he got the idea of collecting all this material, now scattered over the web, into a single library that would be accessible to writers and authors seeking help or advice. He finally did it!Hank created the Writers & Authors Resource Center to share his expertise with inexperienced fiction writers, authors struggling to master the self-publishing process and authors seeking help for their book marketing efforts. Here is a link to the site: https: //www.writersarc.com Early in his writing career, Hank was strongly influenced by two authors: Douglas Adams and his Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Joseph Heller's Catch-22. Happily, Hank has never quite recovered from those experiences.He lives in northern New Jersey, a mere 20 miles from Manhattan, the center of the galaxy (according to those who live in Manhattan). He has two daughters and five grandchildren all of whom live nearby.
