How to Write a Good Story: from Deliberate Practice to Professional Writing

In terms of writing skills, this book is very rich. Personally, I feel that there is no real skill in novels, it is just about showing the right plot at the right time. In this article, I learned some things that I have never paid attention to, such as: writing requires a large amount of material collection, the structure must be compact and concise, the narrative must be as real as possible, and the character description must be detailed and familiar... However, there are too many technical details that I want to say in the article, causing the style to look a bit scattered and the language not to be very concise. Some elements and the summary are not in the same space, resulting in repeated viewpoints. There are quite a lot of description techniques, but there is still a lack of examples and refinement of some methods, so you need to understand them on your own.

 I began to wonder why the novel materials were all from foreign countries; after checking, I found out that the author was a translator from the Republic of China period.

This book is really good! It is an introductory book to novel writing with very detailed content and is very helpful for those who are trying to write novels for the first time. The book also lists the experiences of many famous novelists, which is very practical. I especially liked the part about characters in the novel, it made me understand the importance of characters in novels. However, I kind of hate Xiao Ming in the book. He is always self-righteous and makes people uncomfortable. But this also shows that the author has successfully created the character! Overall, this is a book worth reading.

This book is highly recommended to readers, especially to novice writers. It focuses on the actual needs of novice writers. It not only explains the specific writing methods in detail, but also comprehensively covers various key points in the writing process. It is very thoughtful and worth reading. Very good, worth buying again

Very practical and worth recommending. The author was from the Republic of China period. He studied abroad and later engaged in translation work. Most of the examples included are from foreign classics, but some of the principles are still applicable.

It feels pretty good and should have some practicality. I quite like it. It is suitable for reading and reference by people who like writing.

What the author talks about is very professional, but some of it is hard to understand!

This book talks about a lot. It is a rare good book that comments on the characteristics of the novel in many aspects.

The writing is pretty good, with diverse perspectives and comprehensive content.

It's really an eye-opener. The author's analysis of the novel is clear and the content is clear, including the learning and practice methods. It is a good book that can truly teach us how to write.

Okay, a little helpful

A great book for learning about writing.
