If you like to write, and want to write better, this is definitely the book for you. Stuffed full of exercises to stretch all different sorts of writing muscles, from point of view to vivid description, interview and voice, Brian Kiteley has genuinely delivered on the tagline promise - writing exercises that transform your fiction.
No. 1, for example, is to write 500 words in first person while only using the personal pronoun 'I' twice in the whole piece. Surprisingly hard and really rewarding. I feel like my writing has matured twenty or thirty fold and I am only up to exercise 11 so far (check them out on my blog - [here]). Great for getting those creative juices flowing when you get stuck.
Highly recommend owning your own copy as the explanations and examples that go with each exercise are pure gold.
Random listing from 'Books'...
Weir is back and even weirder. But it is not just Weir who is weird, it is his whole family. Not even their pet bird is normal. How will he keep cool with a school trip to the zoo coming up AND Bella's birthday party?
It won't be easy, but it will be funny.
