Creative Writing Craft
How fiction works on the page: prose technique, scene mechanics, and style
analysis. This is the how-to-write layer. /writing-principles carries the
reader-reward model and failure-mode diagnostics; /creative-writing-modes
carries the production modes for putting prose on the page.
Load only the resource needed for the task:
resources/prose-writing.md— psychic distance, free indirect discourse, rhythm, sensory grounding, interiority, POV.resources/scene-construction.md— scene entry, dialogue, pacing, transitions.resources/style-analysis.md— analyzing prose samples and producing style reference files.resources/genre/— genre-specific craft guidance when genre promise shapes the page.
