The craft of writing is a lot like spinning a web: You take threads and weave them skillfully together, and only you know where this intricate network of twists and turns begin and how it will end. Now, with Lawrence Block's expert advice, you can learn this art of entrapping your reader in a maze of fascinating fiction.
Spider, Spin Me a Web is the perfect companion volume to Block's previous book on writing, Telling Lies for Fun and Profit, which Sue Grafton noted "should be a permanent part of every writer's library." As helpful and supportive as always, Block shares what he's learned over the course of writing over one hundred published books: techniques to help you to write a solid piece of fiction; strategies for getting a reader (or editor) to read--and buy--your book; ideas for increasing your creativity and developing an environment that will nourish you and your craft.
Spider, Spin Me a Web is a complete guide to achieving your full potential as a writer.
In this indispensable book, Block provides honest, practical answers to the biggest questions about the writer's journey:
- The Inner Game of Fiction: Learn to overcome procrastination, survive rejection, and turn crippling fear into the courage and faith you need to succeed.
- The Craft of Storytelling: Master the essential techniques of fiction, from organic writing and foreshadowing to the art of omission and creating memorable characters.
- From First Draft to Published Book: Discover what editors really want, how to get their attention, and why you must write the book you want to write.
- Living the Writer's Life: Get practical, hard-won advice on everything from finding your creative process to getting by on a writer's income.
