In your head, the narrative is grand and beautiful--some might even say epic, majestic, a story for the ages! But as you're rereading what you've got so far, you find yourself... disappointed. It's not at all how you imagined it, with choppy language, weak characters, and thin description of the setting. It lacks depth and form, but you don't exactly know how to fix it. Writing and revising fiction is challenging, and the strategies for doing it well are varied and highly subjective. And the truth is, there's no single "right way" to craft a narrative. So how do you do it? How do you take what seems like a brilliant idea for a story and craft it into something wonderful, that truly represents what you know you're capable of? How do you add the depth and elegance that will have people reading your book for decades to come? In the book The Intersection of Setting and Story, delve into the craft of creating compelling fiction with A.J. Sieling. This book will examine the many uses for setting, and how a writer can blend it with the other elements of story to build a narrative web which captures the reader's imagination.
