The truth and the writing - Batha Al Essa

The truth is the compass of writing. It is the place we head towards, line after line. And because the truth is the essence and goal of the artistic work, description was central, and this descriptive writing held a core importance in the novel work. It is not just a tool through which we try to activate our ability to weave different worlds, but rather a tool that observes the meaning the writer desires. Talking about descriptive writing cannot happen in isolation from the fictional truth, and if truth is the goal, then description is the means. It is a means that takes the judgment of the goal. This book is an attempt to trace the path of a single thread in the narrative architecture: the descriptive thread. We might think the matter is simple and secondary, compared to other components of the novel, such as plot and characters. Elements that may seem more essential and tempting to the interested writer, but the reality is that the descriptive thread is intertwined with all elements of the novel. It is embedded in characters, events, and place, and nothing in the novel can be realized without it. Often, it is the line that separates the novel from the story, and good literature from poor writing. Talking about descriptive writing, and oh surprise! is a talk about writing the novel as a whole. It is the vision of the whole through the part, and understanding the surroundings from a drop of water. Cover type: Regular paper size: 21×14
