"On the Art of Writing Fiction" by W. E. Norris et al. is a collection of essays on the craft of fiction writing, likely written in the late 19th century. The book offers insights from various authors and educators on elements like style, character development, and the nuances of storytelling, making it particularly useful for aspiring writers. The essays each present different perspectives on creating engaging narratives and understanding the readers' expectations. The opening of the book sets the stage for these discussions by emphasizing the importance of having a story to tell and the ability to tell it effectively. Norris begins by addressing beginners in fiction writing, noting that simply possessing a good plot is not sufficient; writers must also discover and cultivate their unique styles to resonate with readers. He provides a candid look at the challenges writers face, including the need for discipline and patience in mastering the art of storytelling, and underscores that while writing may seem straightforward, it is a complex craft demanding continuous effort and dedication.
