| Publisher Description: In short, snappy chapters, Chris Rogers takes us from structure, plot, dialogue and action to that intangible but essential quality every editor seeks: voice. Using bestselling novels and blockbuster films to briskly illustrate story elements, Rogers entertains the reader while presenting one excellent writing technique after another. Further setting this book apart are the 12 easy brain-training secrets any writer can implement for crafting strong, emotionally charged prose faster. Imagine a dozen good story ideas in an hour: this book steps you through it. Imagine creating page-turning tension from beginning to end: you'll read a suspense story in its entirety, then discover the words and phrases that keep the tension cord taut. Moving seamlessly between instruction and illustration, Goosing the Write Brain is an indispensible resource that both aspiring and veteran writers will want close at hand. An unexpected bonus: it's also a great read. |
