Write Compelling Plots

Amanda Apthorpe

Sinossi

We are enthralled by stories – tales told around the campfire, acted on stage, written down, filmed, painted, danced and sung. Why? Because we want to be entertained, to be inspired, to escape, to enter virtual worlds, to understand and to relate to others like and unlike ourselves.
 
It’s said that there are only seven storylines, but those seven have generated an extraordinary number of tales because their creators have told them from their own perspectives, their own point of difference.
 
The fourth book in Amanda Apthorpe's Write This Way series, 'Write Compelling Plots’, identifies the difference between plot and story, guides external and internal structural organisation and explains the significance of the narrative arc. You will discover how your central character’s desire, their limitations and their fear entwine to create the conflict that will drive your story. Drawing on the content within these pages, and your own point of difference, you too can create compelling plots.
 
In addition, this book explores the elements of setting and description. Part 3: Editing Toolbox identifies and corrects common editing errors in creative writing.

Handling Haber in Spanish

Gordon Smith Durán, Cynthia...

Why this book? 
In many ways, Haber is one of those Spanish verbs that really does not get the attention it deserves. It constantly surprises us just how misunderstood and misused it is.  
Even though Haber often plays a secondary role in our sentence structures and one of its biggest jobs is to work as a ‘helper’ verb, you will discover that Haber, is by no means a ‘runner up’ verb!  
Once you learn to manage and use it in a fluent and controlled manner, your Spanish will move ahead leaps and bounds. 
About this book. 
This book is designed to take you from the basic yet vital uses of Haber all the way through to what some might describe as the most complex Spanish sentences you can make. It includes:  
·        Clear and unambiguous explanations 
·        Step by step progress through the tenses 
·        Frequent tests to check your understanding 
·        Interesting expressions used with Haber 
·        The Spanish Subjunctive in all of its glory! 
We promise you that, once you have completed all of the chapters, your understanding of Haber will find itself exactly where it needs to be!
