Five stars because this is the book that first taught me how to analyze and mold my own life experience in fiction writing, especially character emotions. In one chapter, Collins makes the case that any writer who's chased a buzzing fly around a room can use that coldblooded determination to write a murderer. The skills here are important stepping stones for mastering deep point of view. Well worth reading with interesting ideas on how to get under the skin of your characters by using method acting techniques. I especially liked the analogy of building your character's emotions like beads on a necklace and character's changing objectives in a scene, The only reason it has three stars is at because at times a bit hard to immediately relate it to my own writing. Some creative writing books have me itching to pick up th e pen and try it. This might be because while there is at the end of every chapter two excellent examples of each 'secret' one from literature at large and another from the author's own work, with things to think about, there were not many specific tasks for the reader as a writer. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
In the early twentieth century, Russian director Constantin Stanislavsky transformed the acting world with a series of techniques he called ?method acting.? By discovering the inner life of a character, actors learned to bring emotional realism to their roles as never before. In Getting Into Character, Collins takes seven of the most eye-opening techniques of the Stanislavsky method and adapts them to the art of writing fiction. Like actors, writers learn how to personalise characters, determine their action objectives in a scene, write subtexted dialogue and much more. Collins concludes each chapter with excerpts from both a familiar classic and a modern bestseller to illustrate how top-notch authors?from Jane Austen to Steve Martini?have used these same techniques to great effect.
