Write with the Clarity of a Photo Paul Anthony Mills

Have you ever heard someone say, I liked the movie, but the book was better? They probably said it because, what must be depicted in under 2 hours on the big screen, can be gradually and methodically delivered over hundreds of pages, adequately capturing the very essence the author intended. Have you ever heard the phrase, a picture is worth a thousand words? Simply put, a single picture can convey in an instant, the equivalent of a thousand words written down. On your quest to create your first novel, you not only need to be able to capture the essence of a movie whilst depicting your story to a depth a movie is unable to realize, you must also be able to illustrate each scene of your story to a degree where your readers can visualize those scenes as if they were staring at a series of pictures. Hence the title of this 3rd and final book in my series titled, Write with the Clarity of a Photo. And apart from the obvious ingredients that go into the creation of a novel, like, plot, characters, setting, conflict and ending, your novel cannot be complete without 3 other equally important facets, theme, narration, and dialogue.
