So You Want To Write

The purpose of all fiction is to create an emotion in a reader….  Stein.

When you are describing a person, start with their shoes…. Hemingway

Wallow in the sound of language, so you can almost taste the sound.

Reveal the darker truths of all your characters. This has to happen to every character.

Shakespeare :

‘The innocence of sinning.’

‘Steel inside their darker armour.’

‘High Noon of their relationship.’

“A mouldy rogue.”

‘A riotous carnival of the English language.’

‘Write with a heartbeat, a rhythm.’

Great writing is poetry, with a road map.’ Ranson (me!)
