With your film background, you will be way ahead of other writers in terms of knowing the spine of things, knowing what's important. <BR/><BR/>First, read voraciously. The film world tends to make you lose reading habits, usually... check yourself there. Given your film background, it's a good idea to start with short stories. (Hitchcock said a short story is the closest thing to a film in form and structure.) For that, even more than books about fiction, what will help you is good short stories. Do yourself a favor and pick up these two books first:<BR/><BR/>1. The story and its writer: An introduction to short fiction. Edited by Ann Charters. Boston: Bedford St. Martins.<BR/><BR/>2. The Essential Tales of Chekhov: Selected by Richard Ford. <BR/><BR/>Whatever else you do, these two books will prove invaluable. "Story and its writer" cos it's got every must-know fiction writer... tons of great, great stories, tons of writers, tons of commentaries...<BR/><BR/>And Chekhov because, as you know, he is the father of the modern short story... <BR/><BR/>The world of fiction is fairer to you as a writer than the world of film... just work hard, you will do well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15642985.post-1145358150124820102006-04-18T04:02:00.000-07:002006-04-18T04:02:00.000-07:00John Gardner's The Art of Fiction is the only one ...John Gardner's The Art of Fiction is the only one everyone agrees on.
