The Fire in Fiction: Passion, Purpose and Techniques to Make Your Novel Great

An Excellent Guide

Great book. Shows lots of way to pump up tension in your writing. The exercises are actually helpful. I liked the way it's organized and written. I skimmed some of the excerpts used to illustrate the points, but I also added some books to my nightstand that I hadn't considered before.

I'm glad I bought this and read it, I think it's improved my writing. I would recommend this to any writer of fiction, published or not.

The Fire in Fiction by Donald Maas

As with all of Mr. Maas' books, this is a very informative and helpful book for fiction writers whether novices or folks on the New York Times best seller list. Strong and easily understood ways to add fire to your fiction. A must read for all writers regardless.

Great Book!

As with his previous non-fiction works on writing fiction, Mr. Maass has superb insight. I got a lot out of this book that helped me as a fiction writer, and so will you. He is insightful and pragmatic--a rare combination. I made a little cheat-sheet with points from his books that help me daily. I ordered this book before it was even available, and was not disappointed. Passion for your fiction, and avoiding the mundane, is at the top of his priorities, as well as a lot of other great reminders and suggestions.

Thanks, Mr. Maass!
