McNulty B: Story Made Simple

Story Made Simple

A No-Nonsense Guide to the Essential Elements of Storytelling

Sei uno scrittore fallito e ti spiego perché

Independently published

Se hai iniziato un romanzo e non l'hai mai finito, questo libro ti riguarda più di quanto sia comodo ammettere. Se aspetti l'ispirazione, se ti offendi davanti alle critiche, se confondi una buona idea con una storia, se pensi che pubblicare significhi essere letto, se ami i tuoi aggettivi come figli fragili e i tuoi personaggi parlano tutti con la tua stessa voce, allora questo non è solo un libro sulla scrittura. È probabilmente una cartella clinica con copertina. Sei uno scrittore fallito e ti spiego perché è un anti-manuale ironico, tagliente e pratico per aspiranti autori, scrittori esordienti, narratori dilettanti, blogger, autopubblicati e per chiunque abbia mai pronunciato la frase sto lavorando a un romanzo con un'espressione più solenne del contenuto del file. Il libro smonta, uno dopo l'altro, gli autoinganni più frequenti di chi vuole scrivere: l'amore per l'immagine dello scrittore più che per la fatica della pagina, il culto dell'ispirazione, i manoscritti eternamente incompiuti, la falsa superiorità di chi pensa che il mondo non lo capisca, il terrore della revisione, la confusione tra talento e mestiere, tra pubblicazione e lettura, tra originalità e pasticcio intenzionale. Non troverai formule magiche, ricette per il bestseller, promesse editoriali o frasi motivazionali da stampare e appendere sopra la scrivania. Quelle servono soprattutto a decorare la stanza in cui continui a non scrivere. Troverai invece diagnosi spietate, esempi riconoscibili, battute scomode, esercizi pratici e una serie di verità che ogni aspirante scrittore dovrebbe ascoltare prima di infliggere al mondo il terzo prologo del suo romanzo ancora non finito. Il tono è sarcastico, ma non gratuito. La parola fallito non è usata come insulto: è una provocazione. Uno scrittore fallito non è necessariamente uno che scrive male. È uno che non finisce, non rilegge, non taglia, non accetta critiche, non studia il mestiere, si innamora della propria voce e spesso preferisce l'idea romantica dell'autore alla realtà poco fotogenica del lavoro. Ogni capitolo prende un errore e lo mette sotto una luce impietosa: personaggi senza voce propria, dialoghi che sembrano interrogatori, inizi meteorologici, spiegazioni inutili, aggettivi ornamentali, finali affrettati, paragoni comodi con i grandi autori, ossessione per le recensioni, vittimismo editoriale e molte altre piccole malattie della pagina. Ma questo libro non si limita a ridere del disastro. Dopo la diagnosi arriva sempre la parte utile: come riconoscere il problema, come correggerlo, come smettere di usare l'ego come editor e come trasformare un testo da alibi personale a oggetto leggibile. Non è un libro contro chi scrive. È un libro contro le bugie che chi scrive si racconta. Non ti farà diventare automaticamente uno scrittore. Però potrebbe impedirti di continuare a fallire sempre nello stesso modo.

100 Simple Exercises from Beloved Authors to Improve Your Writing Style

How to Write Stunning Sentences

Creative Writing Curiosity: Ten Essays on the Curious and Writerly is a lively collection examining how curiosity informs, shapes, deepens and empowers creative writing. Across ten varied essays the collection explores curiosity as stimulus, as guide, as teacher, companion or provocateur. Sometimes initiating, sometimes encouraging deeper thinking and greater imagining, and often the impetus, curiosity is shown as innate and routinely engaged with uncertainty. It is from our desire to know, the questioning that our curiosity entails, that creative writing emerges. Ultimately, it is shown that curiosity is manifest not only in what we write creatively but in how we go about writing it.

Ten Essays on the Curious and the Writerly Volume 1

Creative Writing Curiosity

Imagine if your business communication consistently fought against the very operating system of the human brain. The Storytelling Operating System reveals that our minds aren't built for raw data; they're wired for narrative. This groundbreaking book unpacks the neurological imperative behind storytelling, demonstrating why stories are not merely a 'soft skill' but the foundational language for impact, engagement, and strategic success in any organization. This essential guide introduces you to the Storytelling Operating System, a comprehensive framework designed to align your communication with the brain's innate processing. You'll learn to decode the brain's response to narrative, understanding why information wrapped in context, emotion, and causality is absorbed efficiently, while data alone often leads to resistance and disengagement. The book meticulously outlines the structure and components of this system, from uncovering your brand's core purpose with The Self Story to explaining your 'why' with The Serving Story, demonstrating client transformation through The Success Story, and building enduring credibility with The Saga Story. It addresses the critical need for transparency in action and provides insights into avoiding common pitfalls when stories backfire. Beyond foundational principles, The Storytelling Operating System equips you with practical tools to measure storytelling effectiveness, prioritize narrative elements with 'The Operator's Edit, ' and adapt your stories across diverse mediums like text and video. It navigates the strategic tradeoffs inherent in crafting compelling narratives, ensuring your message resonates whether you're addressing internal teams or external markets. This isn't just about marketing; it's about leveraging the most powerful human mechanism for cooperation and collective action, transforming how your organization communicates, connects, and achieves its objectives. By mastering the brain's native language, you will unlock unparalleled advantages: - Achieve deeper engagement and retention from your audience, whether customers, employees, or stakeholders. - Build a powerful, differentiated brand that stands out in a crowded market. - Drive action and foster genuine connection by tapping into emotional levers. - Ensure strategic initiatives are understood, embraced, and successfully executed. - Cultivate trust and loyalty, preventing misinterpretations and distrust. - Gain a competitive edge by leveraging a fundamental human cognitive architecture. - Scale cooperation and achieve ambitious collective goals through shared narratives.

Bloomsbury Spectres, Hauntings and Horrors

Exploring current debates in creative writing about the borders between fiction and creative nonfiction, this collection of essays draws on concepts of the uncanny and hauntology to challenge, subvert and transgress the boundary between forms. Hauntology, as originally defined by Derrida, challenges the certainties of ontology, in a similar way to debates about truth in creative nonfiction; by bringing together authors that undermine the fiction/nonfiction binary, Haunted Writing considers the ways in which real events and experiences haunt writers as they craft their work. Offering insight into how the past - both personal and historical - is experienced and understood in the present, this book includes writing from a diverse group of established and emerging authors who situate their work on genre boundaries and discuss their own creative practice to show how their writing 'haunts' real events. With essays covering a range of ideas from subjectivity, intersectionality and challenging dominant versions of history, to braiding personal and researched stories, playfulness, experimentation and creating stories from archival documents, this beautifully written collection intervenes in contemporary discussions in creative writing and culture surrounding ownership, appropriation and ethics. Bringing a fresh voice and new perspectives to ever-present questions within creative writing, Haunted Writing uncovers how the past is a spectre that disrupts contemporary writing.

Storytelling from the Borders of Fiction and Nonfiction

Haunted Writing

With rejection and intense commitment such integral parts of the writing life, many struggle to stay with the creative process. Combining explorations of perseverance, intention, riding through failure, and meaning-making with bringing oneself fully into one's art, Stay With It offers writers practices to sustain their writing and their creative life. Through a hybrid of craft, pedagogy, memoir and personal essay that call upon reflective exercises and prompts, Cindy Shearer helps writers understand themselves as artists as well as the nature of writing as an artistic process and practice. Drawing on knowledge from art forms beyond writing, from dancing to visual art, this book shows writers how to: - Develop their own tools for sustaining their practice that are adaptable and unique to them - See rules as opportunities and that there is no right or required process - Recognize failure as a way to probe what they really want as writers - Ask questions to understand their markets and create sustainable processes based on external drivers - Discern their true goals focused around what they truly want to create. Moving, illuminating and inspiring, Stay With It will help writers discover and claim a process they can rely on for support again and again.

A Hands-On Guide to Building Fandom Stories Readers Love

Write Your Own Fan Fiction

In this unique collection of essays, published writers offer an intimate view of how their work has been informed, shaped and transformed by their literary, political, philosophical or personal influences. Providing models of the critical commentaries that all students of creative writing must write, each essay from contemporary authors of fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, scripts and digital writing demonstrates how what writers write is determined by what they have read, and what they read is then determined by what they are writing. As writers reflect on their process of moving from sources of inspiration to a finished and original piece of writing, they reveal their anxieties, passions, discoveries and motivations, offering fascinating insights into the imagination's journey. Introductory chapters explore why writers reflect on their own work, and place this practice in wider contexts, offering theoretical frameworks for understanding process, influence, and inspiration. As illuminating for aspiring writers as it is for students reflecting on their research and process as part of writing courses, Creative Writing and the Critical Commentary will change the way writers talk about and engage with other texts.

Creative Writing and the Critical Commentary

Presenting a new way of thinking about the practice of writing fiction for Black writers and any writer who includes non-white characters in their work, The Black Writer's Toolbox is a practical guide to crafting authentic Black characters and fictional worlds. For Black writers, there are connotations within description, language, setting, characterisation and voice when they approach the page that are often overlooked in creative writing instruction. This book seeks to address this gap, offering writers the tools to decolonise their own minds, banish stereotypes and caricatures from their writing and address important contemporary cultural questions. Helping writers articulate their fully formed characters as well as guiding readers to understand the nuances of writing while Black, the book considers the effect of stereotypes on Black writers and readers, explores the historical implications of language, voice and power, and explains why all writing is not the same. With consideration of sentence structure, senses, scene, point of view, plot, emotion, writing 'self' and 'other' and more, each chapter employs examples of literature from Black authors that explore narrative perspective within the cultural, racial and historic contexts of the work, and features writing prompts and exercises around the topics discussed. Calling upon the writings of Yaa Gyasi, Courttia Newland, Bernadine Evaristo, Nalo Hopkinson, Marlon James and Jamaica Kincaid and many more, The Black Writer's Toolbox is an important corrective to existing literature on the writing process.
