Episode 152 - How the masters create their settings.

Published 1 year, 2 months ago
Description

Why are some novels so good?  One of the reasons is that the author is a master at setting descriptions.  How did Charlotte Bronte and Edna Ferber make their settings magical?  We'll talk about their techniques here.  Also, strong verbs versus weak verbs: how and why to choose the stronger action word.

Here is a 20-episode master class on fiction writing—a start-to-finish course covering plot, characters, dialogue, scenes, sentence-level craft, and much more.  Each episode is focused and about 30 minutes.  The full class—all 20 episodes—is available now for a one-time price of forty-nine dollars.  If you want structured, concise guidance, click the Buy the Master Class link in the show notes to get started.
