The Making of a Story is a fresh and inspiring guide to the basics of creative writing--both fiction and creative nonfiction. Its hands-on, completely accessible approach walks writers through each stage of the creative process, from the initial triggering idea to the revision of the final manuscript. It is unique in combing the three main aspects of creative writing instruction: process (finding inspiration, getting ideas on the page), craft (specific techniques like characterization), and anthology (learning by reading masters of the form). Succinct, clear definitions of basic terms of fiction are accompanied by examples, including excerpts from masterpieces of short fiction and essays as well as contemporary novels. A special highlight is Alice LaPlante's systematic debunking of many of the so-called rules of creative writing. This book is perfect for writers working alone as well as for creative writing classes, both introductory and advanced.

This is one “under the radar” gem!!
Size: Large, Color: Coral
This is one “under the radar” gem!! Very strong internal squeaker and way tougher than it looks. My big 125lb Shepard-Husky mix gave it heck, then made it his new buddy. He’ll occasionally give it the business but on the whole, it’s surprisingly tough and my big boy loves it. Nice price!!

Cute but small
Size: Large, Color: Skinny Green
Cute stuffy and has not yet ripped. While my dogs plays with it, the toy is a bit small for him. For reference he is 120lbs.

Great for puppies- have purchased several times
Size: X-Small
I have purchased this toy for a couple of the puppies in my life and they always love it. It’s not noisy, it’s made for puppies to chew (so it’s not too hard), and it’s fun for them to carry around with the different keys and key ring. A little pricey, but it always lasts a very long time- longer than they are a puppy!

Safe and Entertaining Chew Toy
Size: Medium
My dog absolutely loves this toy! She gets hours of chewing time out of it, and I feel so much better knowing the keys are made of a material that’s gentle on her teeth. Unlike harder toys that can chip teeth, this one is durable yet safe, and it keeps her happily entertained. Definitely a great choice for any dog that loves to chew.
