Writing the Picture Book

Combine that with inspiration and your imagination, and you will be good to go.

Point of View
Summary
Unlocking the mystery behind point of view: Why is point of view important to a novelist, and how can we make sure we're using it correctly? Which serves the story better - first person, third person, omniscient, or the quirky second? Using her 30 years of writing experience, Angela Hunt presents a brief lesson on point of view that should answer all your questions in practical, simple terms. You don't need an entire book to understand it - you only need to listen to this audiobook. These lessons, Hunt says, are brief for a reason. "I don’t want you to spend most of your time reading how-to books. I will give you what you need so you can put what you’ve learned into practice. That’s the best way to improve."

The Plot Skeleton
Summary
In writing class, our teachers made sure we understood how to write a five-paragraph theme: introduction, thesis sentence, points one, two, and three, followed by the conclusion. But rarely did any teacher tell us how to write fiction. They simply urged us to write a story. But how is that done? Angela Hunt has been writing and teaching for 30 years, and she has boiled plotting down to the basics in this audiobook. Not only will you come away knowing how to plot, you'll be able to point the important structural points in movies and other books you read. It's all about the skeleton, Hunt says, and every working story has one. Enjoy this writing lesson for a fraction of the cost of attending one of Angela's writing classes. Your writing will never be the same.
