devloping story ideas
Michael Rabiger
why this book?
If you like writing but get frustrated by characters who refuse to come alive,
plots that fizzle, or story ideas that all feel secondhand, this book will prove
exhilarating and freeing. Using minimal jargon and speaking directly to you
as a colleague, its advice and many practical assignments will help you generate
a fund of your own story ideas—and have great pleasure doing it.
Though addressed to prospective screenwriters, the book’s work is foundational
and can lead just as easily to projects in prose fiction, theater, radio, or journalism
