excellent resource!:
"Characters, Emotion and Viewpoint" is helping me understand the importance of viewpoint, of focusing on what the main characters are feeling and experiencing within a story's moment of action. As one working on becoming a writer, this book is essential in understanding the importance of point of view in your characters. It's certainly as important as how you paint the setting to readers.
Build Great Characters:
Just as the title of the book says, "Characters, Emotion & Viewpoint," every book has them, and many of them. This book explains exactly how to create various characters, the different emotions that they may convey throughout your story, and the different viewpoints that may be utilized to make your writing more effective. This is a "must have" for anyone thinking of writing fiction, as are all of the books in this series. These books are worth every cent. I read all of them before I even started... more info
Not my first choice:
Orson Scott Card's book Characters & Viewpoint is better, as that book actually shows how to go about creating likable characters, and which characters fit with which stories. This book has some good tips on how to bring emotion into your scenes, but other than that's it's a little too thin. Start with Card first.
Elegant explanations and examples:
This guide was an easy read since the subject was broken into easy pieces for digestion. I was especially pleased with the literary examples of many classic and contemporary authors, which made obvious the understanding of principles explained in each chapter. This book substantially lifted my confidence in fiction writing technique.
