Lots of useful information, from the basics, to the abstract, to the business side of writing. ( )

This writing guide was actually inspiring. I would highly recommend all aspiring writers to read it. He provides good, simple exercises at the end of each chapter, which I did not do. It may be worth a second read, but a little more slowly next time, and to perform the exercises to train my mind how to see the things he's saying not to do as I'm reading, or even as I'm working on my own writing projects. Most assignments are to scour the newspapers or read certain books. You will learn what bores you to death and why.

From now on, I will read news articles, novels and nonfiction now with some extra tools in my toolbox. I usually don't even pay attention to whether or not a sentence is a good sentence or bad sentence until I come across one that throws me off. Maybe words were ackwardly twisted around or the punctuation was off. Then, and only then, will it grab my attention. Facebook news is usually where I find journalists are constantly repeating themselves, lengthening the article, and wasting everyones time. Maybe it's because they don't really have anything else to say on the subject, or they are trying to beat everyone else on getting the news out that they aren't taking the time to organize their thoughts and write a good piece. I definitely could learn from them what not to do as a writer.

He provides loads of simple tips for writing and organization, and provides plenty of examples from other writers in all genres. If you're like me, you are going to want to tag some of his many references to read again later on. ( )

A beautiful series of advices on writing. Complete with "workbench" exercise, it's a precious tool for every kind of writer. ( )

I like how easy to dip in and out of this book. I read it a few chapters every now and again for a few months. It was easy to read, and had some good stories hidden inside. The advice made sense and was easy to follow.

I don't however find myself referring back to it. It's more of a read it and leave it on the shelf rather than have it on the writing desk sort of book. ( )
