I see the headlights on my work in progress, AIR... they are dim as to the distance yet to travel but the beam is constant now... #AIR #booksbybjthompson #onwriting #onwritingwell #keeponwriting #novel #novelist #writingtotheend #theend (at Calgary Alberta Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2sxRihjH_W/?igshid=1bgypkh6isop7

Earlier in the year when I was working with @officially_eye I did some research on random acts of kindness. It inspired me to do something nice from time to time within my means. Today I'll like to give away this book, On Writing Well by William Zinsser ( I had two copies forever) to a writer! You must be in ATL though, so the shipping isn't too expensive. I am a firm believer that everybody who writes anything should have this book as a reference. DM me if you're interested. More random acts of kindness to come. Stay tuned! #knowledgeispower #readingisfundamental📚 #StupendousCopy #onwritingwell (at Dunwoody, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByVexP4AGB0/?igshid=1f92wp90g9iya

“In your natural way of producing words there is a sound, a texture, a rhythm—a voice—which is the main source of power in your writing. I don’t know how it works, but this voice is the force that will make a reader listen to you, the energy that drives the meaning through his thick skull.” ~Peter Elbow #peterelbow #onwritingwell #thetextureofyourwords #rhythmofyourvoice #yourenergyforce #yourwrittenvibe #aprilsunset #caliset #aprilshine #norcalsunset #redbluffcalifornia 🍃☀️🍃

“A solid routine fosters a well-worn groove for one’s mental energies and helps stave off the tyranny of moods ... But one’s daily routine is also a choice, or a whole series of choices. In the right hands, it can be a finely calibrated mechanism for taking advantage of a range of limited resources: time (the most limited resource of all) as well as willpower, self-discipline, optimism.” ~ Peter Elbow #peterelbow #onwritingwell #solidroutine #wellworngroove #selfdiscipline #optimism 🍃☀️🍃

Minimalistic Writing?

“Clutter is the disease of American writing.” What a line. This sentence comes from William Zinsser’s On Writing Well, a book I am quickly adding to my favorites. The best chapters I’ve read so far are on Simplicity and Clutter, to nobody’s surprise. “But the secret to good writing is to strip every sentence to its cleanest components. Every word that serves no function, every long word that…

3rd Day of the #writerslifeigjune! "Writer Resources" We could be here and talk about this for days on end, but these are my favourite books when it comes to writing advice and things writers need to know. 1. The Emotion Thesaurus - so your characters don't just shrug and raise their eyebrows. 2. 45 Master Characters - so your characters come alive and feel whole and rounded. 3. A Writer's guide to Characterization - An amazing book that goes even more in depth on the whole 'how do I even make characters?' topic. 4. Self-editing for Fiction Writers - to polish that prose and fix that dialogue so everything flows and your readers cry. & 5. On Writing Well - another book for prose that every writer needs to read (according to me. And according to the amazing @ who recommended it). . #onwritingwell #theemotionthesaurus #45mastercharacters #awritersguidetocharacterization #selfeditingforfictionwriters #WilliamZinsser #writingresources #msharris #writer #author #writerslife #brainstorming #worldbuilding #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #books #reading #bookstagram #writersoftumblr #writersofig #writersofinstagram #blog #blogging #blogger #challenge #instagramchallenge #wrinos
