Review: The Fiction Class - Susan Breen
Review: The Fiction Class - Susan Breen - January 2008
Ever been stuck in a reading slump?
After reading The Last Dragon King by Leia Stone last Thursday, everything I
had tried since then was just blah and it took me four days to finally crack
the reading slump even then as I typed this past week's reviews, I only read 5
books and for me that is still considered a bit on the quiet side. I have
thought being near Christmas and that wind-down period from work as the near of
the year arrives, we all get a bit tired and in a frustrated indescive mood. As
a fan of books about books and writing, I figured this would be a safe bet to
pull me out of the slump and it did. The book is set in an Introduction to
Fiction Writing class taken by Arabella Hicks. She dreams of being a writer
herself but spends her time writing reports and copywriting and teaching the
class as well as visiting her mother in the rest home. This book is set during
the class lessons where we get to know Arabella and her students through the
lesson plans this isn't just some fiction class, but will also help the
classmates learn in their real lives to be themselves, aim for the stars, and
who knows what might eventuate from love, romance, and friendship. If you love
books about writing or fancy yourself a beginner writer, then you will love The
Fiction Class. Included is also the list of assignments which you can give
yourself a go and practice. I did a couple of these exercises with my partner
as it was also interesting to see his views compared to mine.
