About this ebook

WHAT IF? ist das erste Handbuch zum Thema Schreiben, das auf einer praktischen Überzeugung beruht: Die wirkungsvollste und provokativste Methode, die Kunst des Schreibens zu erlernen, liegt darin, spezielle Übungen zu meistern. Alle fünfundsiebzig Übungen für Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene bestehen aus einer knapp formulierten Aufgabe, dem damit verbundenen Ziel sowie zahlreichen Lösungsbeispielen aus der Weltliteratur und von Studentinnen und Studenten der beiden Autorinnen.

Die Autorinnen greifen in ihrem Handbuch ganz konkrete Situationen heraus: Wie fängt eine Geschichte an, wie endet sie? Wann verwendet man direkte, wann indirekte Rede? Wie verwandele ich tatsächliche Ereignisse in Fiktion? Wie finde ich eine Sprache, die sowohl Melodie als auch präzisen Ausdruck hat? Welche Sinne werden beim Leser angesprochen? Jede Übung isoliert ein bestimmtes Element von erzählender Literatur, wie Dialog, Charakterisierung, Subtext usw. Manchmal sollen beim Schreiben zwei Seiten nicht überschritten werden, um den Übenden dazu zu bringen, klar, knapp und direkt zu sein, Weitschweifigkeit zu vermeiden und nicht vom Thema abzukommen. Dieses Buch ist für Anfänger wie für Fortgeschrittene konzipiert, und auf viele Passagen wird man immer wieder zurückkommen. Die Übungen, die kombiniert und abgeändert werden können, und die ausgewählten Textbeispiele bilden einen unerschöpfbaren Quell von Stoffen und Methoden.

    In 83 lessons organized into 12 section Bernays and Painter offer advice and suggest activities designed for students and beginning writers. More experienced writers will benefit from the review materials in this book as well.Readers will find the sections differ in their importance. How to begin a story (Beginnings) and the usefulness of Notebooks, Journals, and Memory will most likely be informative only to those early in their writing career. Beginning writers may also find the inclusion of games and the instruction to learn from the greats to be useful. For more advanced writers the reviews provided by topics such as characterization, perspective and point of view, dialogue, plot and (the potpourri included under the heading) mechanics are likely to be useful despite.The coverage of each topic generally begins with a short explanation of the essential point. That is followed with an exercise that allows readers to practice the skills and techniques just described. This is the weakest part of the book and I was not moved to attempt most of them. Greater thought in crafting more interesting and practical exercises would improve “What If?” greatly. Most of the chapters conclude with examples that depict student’s responses to the exercise. Reading these examples was the most interesting and fun part of the book.I found this “What If?” to be useful despite my many years of experience as a writer.

    Wonderful book for the "stuck" fiction writer who needs help curing chronic or acute writer's block. The prompts are divers and creative.

    Good set of exercises for writers. I use the exercises heavily in my creative writing class. Practical and clear.

    This book is organized somewhat thematically and includes both exercises and responses to the exercises so you can get inspiration from what others have written. I recommend it for those looking to sharpen their skills with regard to particular aspects of writing. Larger-scale writing issues like plotting or novel organization aren't really addressed, but as a whole, this is a good tool to keep around for when inspiration is lacking.

    While I found the prompts interesting, the sample exercises were all from student work, which I didn't find inspiring to read. Almost all of the exercises were aimed at realistic fiction or personal essays, so if you're writing genre fiction you have to rethink them to make them helpful.
