Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis thesis contains the first three chapters of my novel in progress, Ambergris, and a craft essay on sentence construction titled, “Narrative on the Level of the Line.” In the craft essay I explore the mechanisms of sentences in creative writing and their function to craft narrative in unique ways through sentence structure, dialog, and imagery. I examine methods of redefining grammar as it pertains to writing fiction works, such as whether or not to use traditional structural rules to keep the reader engaged. I have used these creative methods in constructing the specific language of my characters, deploying supernatural elements, crafting imagery-laden exposition, and the overall flow of the narrative in Ambergris. If I have crafted it well, it will translate into an engaging, fantastical, dark fairy tale that imparts a subliminal message on the power of free will and what can happen when that agency is tested.
