Live Writing, Breathing Life Into Your Words

Live Writing, Breathing Life Into Your Words 9780380797011
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.
