Nadene R. Carter writes a new fiction workbook entitled, The Sense-ible Writer, which guides her readers through the extremely complicated process of writing fiction. Her philosophy focuses on the five senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Through these senses, Carter builds her concepts of writing fiction. Initially, she points outs that each individual learns differently and in their unique fashion. In chapter 1, Carter "provide[s] a roadmap for those who hunger to write fiction."
Her book is based on concepts, not rules. She offers a useful checklist or quiz so each writer may evaluate which learning style best suits their skills. Although, a writer may fall into one learning type, another may discover an overlapping between two or even three. Carter welcomes all styles. She differentiates the learning styles as visual, audio, and tactile. In this way, writers may comprehend which is the best approach to fiction writing.
Her workbook is effective because after each chapter, she includes realistic exercises that encourage the writer to explore and expand their creativity. Since her book is geared toward fiction, Carter takes the writer step-by-step through the maze of character building, creating a plot, credibility in characters, suspense, climax, point of view, and dialogue, just to name a few. If the writer follows through, the end result may be a first draft manuscript.
Nadene R. Carter is also the author of A Cobweb on the Soul, Echoes of Silence. |

THE SENSE-IBLE WRITER
This workbook presents principals of writing, based on concepts rather than rules. It starts with what you instinctively know. From that basis it builds concept upon concept until you understand the entire fiction-writing process.
Each person learns in his or her own unique way. To make this an effective learning experience for all individuals, I've created material specifically for the various learning styles and sensory modes.
As you progress through this study material, you will learn the basics of fiction writing by mastering the concepts presented in each chapter. If you go a step further and do the assigned work, you may come away with the first draft of a novel.
