There
are numerous books written on creative writing. But all of them are
written by foreign authors with references to foreign novels. There
is nothing written by an Indian to help the upcoming authors hone
their skills. Kissing the Demon
by
Amrita Kumar
fills this void on the Indian literary scene.
To
plot or not to plot is an eternal dilemma for every author. This book
answers this question. It has a section devoted to creating the
unforgettable characters. Point of view is also discussed in detail.
I really liked the tips offered by the author for writing dialogues.
The way she tells us to incorporate the story in the settings is
bound to help every author.
A
book written is a job only half done. Editing and finding a publisher
continue to be a nightmare for every author. The book deals with
these aspects as well.
This
isn’t a book, it is a course in creative writing. Hence this book
is highly recommended.
