Thank you for the quick response. I am very surprised my issue was resolved so quickly. Another ebook store gave me a hard time before (months of wait and still not resolved), which was why I started shopping at this web site.

Spider, Spin Me A Web

The craft of writing is a lot like spinning a web: You take threads and weave them skillfully together, and only you know where this intricate network of twists and turns begin and how it will end. Now, with Lawrence Bloock's expert advice, you can learn this art of entrapping your reader in a maze of facinating fiction.

Spider, Spin Me a Web is the perfect companion volume to Block's previous book on writing, Telling Lies for Fun and Profit, which Sue Grafton noted "should be a permanent part of every writer's library." As helpful and supportive as always, Block shares what he's learned over the course of writing over one hundred published books: techniques to help you to write a solid piece of fiction; strategies for getting a reader (or editor) to reaad—and buy—your book; ideas for increasing your creativity and developing an environment that will nourish you and your craft.

Spider, Spin Me a Web is a complete guide to achieving your full potential as awriter.

Chapter One

Organic Writing


"When you sit down to write a book, how much of it do you already.. have fied in your mind? Do you know how it will end? Do you know how it will get there?"
This is one of the questions that comes up most frequently when I meet my readers. (It runs a close second to "What is Bill Brohaugh really like?" and is a whole lot easier to answer.) And it's a point, certainly, that I've addressed from time to time over the years, discussing the relative merits of planning and spontaneity, the security of a detailed outline, the freedom of travelling without a formal itinerary.
I was thinking the other day that, however carefully the writer plans ahead, with or without an outline, you never really know exactly what's going to happen next in any truly engaging piece of fiction. Because good writing is never merely a matter of assembling a boxful of component parts according to a sheet of directions, and that holds true even when you're the one who handcrafted the parts and wrote the directions.
Writing, you might say, is an organic process. It grows as it goes. Each page is the product of everything that has gone before it, including of course the preceding page. I may know-or think I know-exactly what I'm going to write today and tomorrow. But something unplanned will happen during today's stint at the typewriter, some unimportant piece of dialogue, some bit of description-and what I write tomorrow will be changed by it.
Here's an illustration, from a letter I received from another writer a few months ago.
