[读书]James Scott Bell/詹姆斯·斯科特·贝尔:《这样写出好故事》


This is a practical and operable manual book on how a beginner could write a readable story (an excellent story needs more practice, more skills and a good idea/setting). Following the LOCK structure (Lead, Objective, Confrontation, knockout) and other skills like "two doors", you can fabricate a good enough story.

In my mind, the structure could be modified as "LOCKS": Lead, Objective, Confrontation, Knockout, Story-line. Story-line means the whole story setting and the development of the story. Similar LOCK but different Story-line could make different stories. For example, lots of fan fictions adapted from the ancient famous classic novels could be regarded as following different story-lines but similar LOCK.

I'm trying to write some of my stories and this book is really a good guide for beginners.
