Unfortunately, ArtsWom was not around to cover the previous XXIII tutorials in John Baker’s effortlessly engrossing “Learning to Write” series. However, that is no excuse to ignore the blog that offers more, for free, than months of creative writing classes. The writer’s most recent lesson teaches us how successfully integrating theme, character and plot will help to create a far more believable and three-dimensional character, defined more effectively by their actions than by lengthy descriptions. Baker passes on his expertise in such a casual manner that it barely feels like you’re learning - he honestly makes it sound so simple.
Simple enough to try for yourself? Fortunately, the most popular literature forum on the internet offers an ideal outlet for your creative imaginings. The Literature Network hosts a forum entitled “Short Story Sharing” which has a fairly obvious function. They have a friendly and helpful community of fellow writers available to share advice and inspiration - the least you could do is share your talent.
