horusmaster9 -> =MECH= Philosophy of Composition (1/1/2010 16:46:44)
|
Seeing as how Edgar Allan Poe is my absolute favorite author, I figured that I would finally get around to reading his The Philosophy of Composition here (if you want to check it out, too). I applied it to my own writing and, although I still have a huge problem with finishing stories, it seems to have generally gotten better, even if it is just the placebo effect. I've just about swallowed up every word he says (yes, I know that I'm gullible), and it made me think, "HMMMMMmmmmm... I wonder what method that other people use..."
So... what method /do/ you guys use? Horus is hungry for knowledge to better his writing. >:D
As for myself, I wholly agree with Poe's viewpoint on writing. Short, one-sitting length, unity of effect, etc. Now, I figured that some of the stuff would be common sense, but it's certainly helping me a lot. ^-^
