| Summary |
Taking off from The Creative Writer's Survival Guide, John McNally'srelentlessly blunt, bracingly cheerful, and immensely helpful map to being a writer, Vivid and Continuousis an equally blunt, cheerful, and helpful map to learning to be a writer. While acknowledging that many fine books cover such essentials of fiction writing as point of view, characterization, and setting, McNally sets out in this new book-intended as a supplement to beginning fiction-writing classes or as the sole text for upper-level or graduate courses-to solve the tricky second-tier. |
