What the essay 'A Story to Tell' advises young beginners on a first novel (Gutenberg eBook 72910)
Coverage
Restates one essay from a book on writing fiction: start from a story already in mind, tell it plainly, let characters show themselves, try telling it aloud or as a short story, then divide it into chapters. For beginning fiction writers. It is the author's opinion in an old text, restated and untested.
Useful starting points
- The essay suggests telling the story aloud to a friend, mainly to hear how the incidents stand rather than to collect criticism.
- It says to end the book when everything to be told has been told, without padding.
- The author limits the advice to young beginners and calls success in giving such advice doubtful.
