Publisher Description
Writers know that their characters and stories should be multi-layered and believable. Now here's a simple workbook that uses the same knowledge that gives therapists insight into human behaviour to create fiction that hits the mark. Each chapter outlines an aspect of psychological theory as it can be used for writing and provides two worksheets to translate it into action – one to develop characters, one to develop the story.
Darian Smith is an award winning fiction writer with a degree in psychology, and is a member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors. He combines these two sides of his background to provide simple, easy to follow tools that make use of established psychological theory to help writers develop fully rounded, interesting, realistic characters and inject conflict into their stories.
Give your writing the benefit of over a decade of training and experience, and discover how to have readers wanting more.
Customer Reviews
Dull and stupid
The book is very boring, it presents some ideas, but doesn't develop them, gives at most one example for each big theme that doesn't feel justified, and expects you to do all the work of convincing yourself there is something worthwhile in it.
