Live Writing: Breathing Life Into Your Words, Paperback/Ralph Fletcher

Descriere

This book is based on the simple idea that every writer has a -tool box.- Instead of awls and hammers, a writer's toolbox contains words, imagination, a love of books, a sense of story, and ideas for how to make the writing live and breathe. I wrote this book to give you some practical strategies to throw into your toolbox. I hope you'll try them, because these are ideas that can make you a better writer. This book is titled Live Writing, and you may be wondering what I mean by that. Most of us have read (and written ) the opposite kind of writing-dull, drab language that sounds about as interesting as a city phone book. By -live writing- I mean the kind of writing that has a current running through it-energy, electricity, juice. When we read -live writing-, the words seem to lift off the page and burrow deep inside us.
