Welcome to our new book club. In this club we'll be reading books about writing. We had a short list in another thread, and by pulling a name out of a hat, we picked our first book:
Writing Tools by Roy Peter Clark
The way we'll work this, we'll divide into chunks. So, starting immediately feel free to talk about anything from section 1 (Nuts and Bolts). After Sunday the 14th, we'll move on to section two, and so on. That'll give us a little more direction, and when we're reading something that has a more narrative flow, keep us from spoiling too much.
Get your copy, get to reading, and let's start talking about the nuts and bolts of this book.
Seeing as how my critiques have improved over time, I would completely agree. I'm sure there are those who have a leg up on writing due to their imaginations and whatnot. But I think it's more of an innate love of writing that's more important, and a wanting to improve.
Is the book club still a thing?
I'd be down, but maybe we could do something different? Always seems to be super fucking heavy stuff.
Sure. Details?
New thread?
