Publisher Description
Though I have taught Literature for more than two decades, I had never given importance to the fact how much others can benefit from my experience. It happened one day that I met Mr. Walter Jones, a poet from US, online and requested him to read some of my works. He obliged me and since that day there has been no pause.
A huge majority of the writers are often trapped by an illusion that structure is their ultimate goal while writing a story. Structure is a kind of God to them. Undoubtedly, structure is an inevitably important part of your story but it might as well destroy story if excessive attention is paid to it.
Aspiring writers and students should read this book very slowly and carefully. I am sure that it is going to prove a goldmine to them, a definite way to their success as a story writer.
Customer Reviews
A thin disappointment.
It's hard to say whether or not this book is a just gimmick to make few bucks. I'll try to describe what the free sample won't reveal to you and leave you to decide. The book cover creates an image of an Asian sage sharing wisdom on writing. However, the wisdom seems so banal that you're not sure if it's written for the novice (stating the obvious) or a has some deeper lesson encrypted in its simplicity. Each chapter is no more than 1.5 pages long and sparsely populated with words, there are also many blank pages, left perhaps for inspiration. Though the price is low it lacks the value to be anything but free. Hopefully saving you a few dollars will make parting with mine less worthless. Try harder, Raja Sharma.
