A storybook and writing workshop in one. Until a moment ago, Sibissibis was just a drawn snake, crayon on paper. How did he suddenly end up in a story? And where will it lead him? This book explains how to invent and write stories. How to capture ideas, find a good beginning, make characters compelling, and keep the plot engaging. And because ideas sometimes take on a life of their own, you suddenly find yourself in the middle of an exciting story. Georg Maag has set out on a quest: for inspiration, for a fine-meshed butterfly net to catch ideas, for good beginnings and surprising endings, and for what makes a good story. In his book and online, he offers tips on how to succeed. Try it out yourself in the online writing workshop.
