The Writing School: a guide to being a fiction writer

di Adam Tramantano (Autore)

Adam Tramantano, 2024

How are fiction writers supposed to understand the behind-the-scenes mechanics of constructing stories? What is the language for the blueprint for a novel? Classic terms like plot, conflict, setting, make sense for literary analysis. But the art of analysis and the art of construction are different. Fiction writers need a flexible and complex way to articulate the facets of their mechanics. This book explores the deeper issues of what fiction writing is all about. Fiction writers are experimenters of causality, inventors of experience.The Writing School, a guide to being a fiction writer, engages you in the complex process of thinking about your own writing approaches while providing ways to chart the blueprints of your processes. Adam Tramantano draws on more than twenty years of exploring the writing process as a writer, editor, educator, and academic. He has a doctoral degree in education and his dissertation focused on how individuals conceptualize their writing processes. In addition to the writing process, he has written about the processes of art, teaching, and research. Tramantano offers breadth and depth of experience in the process of exploring creative productions. In this book, Tramantano is a guide and a cultivator of creativity: "a cultivator's main positioning is always towards the magic of the creative process. A cultivator believes, fundamentally, that there's just something wrong with steering anyone off the path of creative production. " Fiction writers are not simply people who make things up. They demonstrate the beautiful limitlessness of the human imagination. They are choreographers of imagination. They create worlds that can become just as valuable, just as meaningful, and perhaps just as real as the one we're living in. This book reveres the power of fiction writing by regarding it for its complexity and its possibilities.
