Writing: Get Started Writing Fiction
A
Nonfiction, How-To E-Book
By
Fred Wiehe
You want to write. You want to tell a story, create unforgettable characters, entertain and awe readers. You want to see your byline on a short story in a reputable magazine or e-zine. You want to see your novel in a bookstore or on Amazon. You dream of being a writer and making a good living at a profession you love.
But you have no idea how to get started. You have no idea how a story works, how to create interesting characters, how to devise intricate plots, how to create conflict, how to describe setting or mood, how to choose a point of view, how to write an action scene, how to SHOW rather than tell, or how to create sparkling prose with metaphors and similes.
THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!

It also has writing lessons at the end of sections, so you can practice the learned skills.
Fred had the same problems with his writing skills that you have today when he started out many years ago. He looked for books on the subject to help, but most of those dealt with nonfiction or self-help books. There was very little about fiction, about creating new worlds and great characters. There was virtually nothing about structuring a short story or novel. He was on his own.
That’s why he wrote this book. It’s his hope to help aspiring fiction writers avoid the pitfalls he fell into and to avoid learning by trial and error. Hopefully, this book will help you write better stories, faster, and succeed as a writer quicker.
Don't put your writing career off. Learn the skills needed to be a successful writer from a creative writing instructor, respected author, screenwriter, and member of the Horror Writers Association.
