520 |a A prolific and award-winning writer, Lee Martin has put pen to paper to offer his wisdom, honed during thirty years of teaching the elusive art of writing. Telling Stories is intended for anyone interested in thinking more about the elements of storytelling in short stories, novels and memoirs. Martin clearly delineates helpful and practical techniques for demystifying the writing process and providestools for perfecting the art of the scene, characterization, detail, point of view, language and revision, in short, the art of writing. His discussion of the craft in his own life draws from experiences, memories and stories to provide a more personal perspective on the elements of writing. Martin provides encouragement by sharing what he's learned from his journey through frustrations, challenges and successes. Most important, Telling Stories emphasizes that you are not alone on this journey and that writers must remain focused on what they love,the process of moving words on the page. By focusing on that purpose, Martin contends, the journey will always take you where you're meant to go.
