Some say there are five elements of fiction writing some say six some say eight! But when you peel back the layers, the same elements are there in one form or another.įor our purposes, we’ll be dividing them up like this: All across the internet, in writing classes, and in craft books, experts divide these building blocks into a variety of categories.
CRAFT ELEMENTS OF FICTION SERIES
Since I blog here once a month, this series will take us through the end of the year, but by its conclusion, I hope you’ll have a very clear picture of the building blocks that make up (nearly) every story out there. On that note, and since I’m preparing to teach a creative writing class, I thought I’d take this opportunity to dive into the Five Elements of Fiction. I imagine they will somehow break into my posts here, so prepare thyselves! I’ll be teaching a creative writing class for high schoolers this year, and I’ve been loving all the short stories I’ve read in preparation. We’ll miss the woods, but we’re elated with our new place, and really, REALLY, looking forward to fall.
This summer, the Dittemore family celebrated our son’s high school graduation with a trip to Cabo San Lucas, and when we got home, we packed up our house and moved a good thirty minutes closer to everything. I know Steph celebrated our return with you last week, but it still feels bizarre that we’ve had two months away from you all.
