Randy Ingermanson, writer and instructor of writing craft, developed an author’s method for creating fiction text — “The Snowflake Method.” Just as a snowflake consists of numerous water molecules forming a complex structure, so too does a text — of words, phrases, sentences, and ideas. The author offers beginning writers their own method of working with a text, moving from simple to complex, from the first sentence to the final draft of a novel.
In this book Ingermanson focuses on how to turn an abstract idea into a complete draft. Following the author, you will create your own “snowflake” — a diagram that includes characters, key scenes, and plot twists of your future book. Mastering the “snowflake method” will teach you to build gripping plots and write compelling characters that won’t leave any listener indifferent.
