Completing Your Fiction Story
When you write interweaving stories within a fiction story, there comes a time to bring the strands together.
This is the point of confusion. As much as you are now driving the plot home, the interleaving strands can become troublesome.
This time, often when the white heat of creativity is fully upon you, unexpected mounds of confusion can arise. After all, during story development, you probably planned for an outcome. But now, when resolution time comes, the story reaches a crucial point often called The Conclusion.
Here the writer fulfills dreams of some characters even as it becomes necessary to deny the dreams of other characters.
Now the writer feels like a judge or physician, for these decisions are final. The writer has fallen in love with all characters by now. Story decisions at this time determine the future of each character.
In these times. try to separate your presuppositions. Think now of characters as though they are acting in a silent film. Whatever they do will become a natural outgrowth of the story. Let this happen. Whatever the outcome, just remember that what is happening is a natural outcome of whatever has come before.
Perhaps your conclusion will surprise even you.
Fundamental Theories of Ethnic Conflict, by Muli wa Kyendo (ed.)
Description
This book develops and expands on theories that aim at explaining the root causes of ethnic and racial conflicts. The aim is to shift focus from research, policies and strategies based on tackling the effects of ethnic and racial conflicts, which have so far been ineffective as evidenced by the increase in ethnic conflicts, to more fundamental ideas, models and strategies. Contents extend across many disciplines including evolution, biology, religion, communication, mythology and even introspective perspectives.around the world.
Drawn from around the world, contributors to the book are respected and experienced award winning authors, scholars and thinkers with deep understanding of their special fields of contribution. The book was inspired by the conditions in Kenya, where ethnic violence flared up with terrifying consequences following a disputed election in 2008. Although the conflict was resolved by the intervention of the international community, Kenyans like many other Africans - continue to live in fear of ethnic conflicts breaking out with more disastrous consequences. The book will be useful to policy makers, NGOs and others involved in promoting peace. It will also be useful in guiding research and as a text book in universities and colleges.
