Talk:Creative Writing/Novels

In the Creating your Characters topic, I changed "The best way" to "Another way". Another way to do it would be "The best way I have found" or "What works best for me is". Otherwise, it is just hyperbole. ---

Just combed through, fixing some spelling errors, i.e. "knowlage" in Creating an Outline and easing up on some exclamation point action.

I love the idea of this book. I will read it if it seems useful.

Good idea.

Dan Brown is given as an example of a thorough researcher. He could equally be used as an example of why research is necessary. I am an Air Traffic Controller, and his description of the flight in the aircraft in "The da Vinci Code" was laughable. It made it brutally obvious that he never bothered to carry out even the most basic research about flying or flight planning and Air Traffic procedures. The book was ruined for me from that point on. If he couldn't be bothered to read, he shouldn't have bothered to write that section.

I agree that the title should be merged as suggested because you might think this was a chapter about fiction books in general.--God&#39;sGirl94 (talk) 20:04, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Latest Edits
I found this book interesting and I have edited it as I went through. Perhaps a little more detail on developing a character could be very useful and, of course, greater information on developing a plot. Thanks, Karl H.
