Summary

Craft a Story That Towers Above the Rest You know it when you read it: In page after page and scene after scene, a truly engrossing novel has qualities that set it apart. Authentic characters, a well-rounded plot, and immersive settings work in harmony to create a three-dimensional experience--one you can practically step inside and explore. But while you can recognize this work when you read it, writing it can be much more challenging. Bring Your Fiction to Life teaches you how to build a solid narrative structure and layer in lush, textured scenes to create a story that rings true. You'll learn how to:Master the three-dimensional aspects of characters, plots, and settings using detailed sketches that define the past, present, and future aspects of each element.Develop complex opening, resolution, and bridge scenes that expertly lead readers through your fictional world.Construct and analyze an outline for your manuscript, using tools and techniques to analyze scenes that lack dimensionality.Brainstorm, research, and draft efficiently and effectively, and juggle multiple projects with ease.Packed with story-development charts, worksheets, and checklists, Bring Your Fiction to Life shows you how to craft a vivid story world that readers will instantly recognize as remarkable.

    As the value of information increases by the second and new methods of communication alter societies, the process of securing messages and data, which is called encryption, will be playing an increasingly significant part in our daily life. 
    In The Code Book (1999), Simon Singh traces the history of secret codes and their crucial role in deciding the outcomes of wars and dynasties. He explores the evolution of encryption from simple substitution of letters to a complex cipher system, and shows how the subject of coding is more relevant in the Digital Age than ever before.

    Do you wish you had paid attention and actually learned French in high school? Is “learn Spanish” one of the New Year’s resolutions you always fail to keep? Benny Lewis’s Fluent in 3 Months (2014) can teach you how to change that. 
    A language is used for communication, and you should always strive to utilize it with other people, no matter what your skill level is. Forget the traditional learning methods, such as memorizing vocabulary lists and conjugation sheets, which are the reason many beginners get discouraged. Instead, Lewis shows you how to apply interesting methods that help you learn language quickly and start speaking it with others. The learning process should be fun and alive, just like language itself.
