Want to know how to write well?
Read.
A
lot.
And
…
Read
books on the craft of writing. Read them with a highlighter and pencil in hand.
Mark up the pages of the book, flag key passages, and take notes on how to
implement the ideas into your own writing. Study and practice and read some
more. That’s the formula for writing well. ... At least I *think* it is. ... I'm still striving to improve my own writing skills on a daily basis. ;)

What’s
your favorite book on the craft of writing?
These are great ones! I've read 4 of them. :) I also love Arthur Plotnik's SPUNK & BITE, a play on Strunk & White--but being creative and more relaxed with the "rules" to make for stronger writing.
ReplyDeleteGosh, you got most my favorites in this list, but I also very much love Plot and Structure by Bell.
