Notice Of Books Writing about Magic (Writer's Craft #3)

I found this very enlightening. A book every writer should read. There are things we don't consider magic and yet Ms. Hall shows us how they are. Does your book use miracles? Maybe someone is a faith healer. This is magic. Any form of ritual performed? Magic. Religion has magic in it. Something I never considered until I read this book. Aside from that, she gives many good ideas on how to use a magic system to complicate your plot. It was an eyeopener even though I have created many magic

Very basic and unhelpfulNothing here you can't find with a basic Google search or intro to witchcraft blog post. Very slanted toward the Wiccan view of magic and practicing witchcraft with barely any exploration of magic in other cultures or time periods. If you want write about an unimaginative, cookie cutter witch then this book is for you. Very disappointing.

Writing about Magic is not a handbook for the beginner, but rather a usable course about believably incorporating magic in your writing. Hall outlines a number of basic real-world magic systems, and then goes on to touch on other ideas such as weapons, casting, talismans, etc. It concluded with two examples of using magic in writing, something that I always appreciate. Writing about Magic give me some ideas, and I'll be looking forward to putting them into practice!

DisappointingThis book was very disappointing and not as useful as I hoped. There was nothing in the book on how to write magic in fantasy novels.

A decent discussion of magic in fiction. A nice edition to my reference collection. A nice edition to anyone's reference collection if you intend to have magic in you work of fiction. I like how easy it was to quickly read with simple, bulleted style and minimal examples. I like how the author did put 2 short stories in the end to highlight her insight in using magic in your writing. I recommend to anyone writing fantasy, sci_fi or historical fiction.

This was an okay book for writing stories that contain magic, but I felt like it was missing something. I felt that it was some what helpful, but most of the information provided I was already familiar with. I think I was hoping for something more the was the book presented.

This is not a book for beginners, Rayne says on her Twitter, and shes right. This is not a book that will teach you how to write, however, if you understand the mechanics of writing fiction and know how to put a basic scene together youll be fine. The language is straight forward and the assignments are appropriate to the subject matter.This book was originally written as a series of lectures for a class on writing magic, and that is very apparent in Chapter 5 where she says Todays lecture,
