Review: Self-Editing for Writers

Filed under: Reading, Reviews, Writing — Leave a comment

Self-Editing for Writers by Harvey Stanbrough
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I can’t argue with the facts. BUT… That’s all there is to this book. It is just a list of writing rules. There is much more information on web: DailyWritingTips.com or Writing.com or GrammarGirl.com . Sorry, but, meh.

CWin Post. Is out! SO much NEWS! I couldn’t seem to zero in–oh, hey, how about the Life Magazine article about the Beatles! Not news, but blast from the past for some of us! 😉

Dar49 Daily. Is out! It has been out since 11AM PDT. There are quite a few LONG articles and podcasts featured but they were worth my time to peruse. I hope you will enjoy them, too.

Review: Professional Plot Outline Mini-Course

Professional Plot Outline Mini-Course by Holly Lisle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was an easy read. I took copious notes so that when I get ready to outline November’s NaNoWriMo I will be able to follow through. Though a lot of it feels like other books I have read on the subject, Holly Lisle’s personality shows through.

Ms. Lisle left plenty of examples off the top of her head. Because instruction given in other books don’t have examples, I find when I try what they present, it turns out to be quite a mess. Needless to say, I will not delete the book. I want it to be easy to refer back to in the next couple months.

CWin Post. Is out! Enjoy! (They all came in at the same time so I may not have much of a chance to read/edit/tag as much as I usually like to.)
