Novelsmithing: The Structural Foundation of Plot, Character, and Narration provides the
beginning novelist, or perhaps even the experienced novelist who has lost his way, with a discussion of the underlying structure and
methods of novel writing. Nowhere else can the aspiring author learn the skills necessary to achieve the organic unity of the
novelist’s divine trinity: character, conflict, and theme, so necessary to a fine work of literature. He will also learn the art of
narration, and how to lock, then resolve, the conflict while laying out the integral chapter structure. This approach to novel
writing is not about the art of creative writing. It’s about the craft, the novelsmithing, of making a story into a novel. The
aspiring screenwriter will also find most chapters useful. The first nine chapters of Novelsmithing help enable the author to produce a rough draft for his novel. The work’s second section, beginning with Chapter 10, provides the author insight into his own creative processes through use of Carl Jung’s Analytical Psychology as well as its extension, Archetypal Psychology, as developed by James Hillman. It even offers a cure for writer’s block. Chapter 11 discusses the sticky subject of ethics, and Chapters 12 and 13 provide some basic guidance concerning the editing and publishing of the completed manuscript. |
