I'm interested in what's on your mind!

Like you, I've never read them but have heard about them and have seen quotes taken from them. Let me know what you think :-) And enjoy the rest of your travels!

(Would love to discuss with you some day the pro's and cons of vocabulary use!)<br /><br />Thank you!Peggy Harkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606792382935763886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-70883362974369302842018-06-01T05:00:48.940-04:002018-06-01T05:00:48.940-04:00Lovely post.

I've ordered two books on writing that are waiting for me when we get home from our travels: Both by James Scott Bell. I've seen his name on writing books so much, I figured it was time to check him out — and it's time for me to brush up on writing skills as I plug away on my current WIP. But I will keep this book in mind, too. Thanks for the share.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-19609567379827709182018-05-31T10:44:39.852-04:002018-05-31T10:44:39.852-04:00THE STORY CURE looks like a really interesting boo...THE STORY CURE looks like a really interesting book. Truth be told, I buy too many writing books, end up reading parts of them, but not finishing. I just got one in the mail this morning--MAKE A SCENE: WRITING A POWERFUL STORY ONE SCENE AT A TIME by Jordan Rosenfeld. Our SCBWI group will be having a presentation on that book some time this summer, and I wanted to be ready. So far, it looks like a good one. Let me know how yours turns out.<br /><br />Anyone who thinks writing is easy hasn't tried it. There is so much to learn and not nearly enough time to do it. But posts like this one do help. Thanks for calling my attention to THE STORY CURE. I have a LOT of partial manuscripts in need of a cure!Peggy Harkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606792382935763886noreply@blogger.com
