Featured Writing Lesson

Styles in writing change over time, and the current trend is to have one point of view per scene or chapter (unless you’re writing first person) and 2–4 POV characters per book. This lesson explains the different types of point of view, how to pick the right one for your scene, and how to execute a POV.

Weekly Writing Prompt

Imagine a conflict between two people and summarize it briefly using one or two sentences. Include a quick description of each person (age, profession, disposition, and background) as well as what the conflict is and what a solution could be. Using this information, write out a quick 500 word story in which the problem is either resolved or not and how the two characters get from discovery of the problem to the final decision. Now, here's the catch: You're not allowed to use anything other than dialogue. No dialogue tags (he said, she replied), no description of the surroundings or the characters action. Nothing except what each character says to the other.
