Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Reader) Out of Thin Air is the result of more than 30 years experience as a writer all distilled into advice, tips and resources.The first half is comprised of advice for the new and/or young writer, how-to's and hints for improving your communication skills and creating entertaining and riveting writing. Whether you choose to write fiction, scripts, articles or copy for advertising, you’ll find hints and helps that apply to most any avenue you decide to pursue. The second half of the book puts forth many writers' resources available on the web. Each site is one I've visited. All have valuable information and even more resources. And not just "writer's" websites, but others that offer help with grammar and spelling, world-building, education opportunities in writing and more. The book is taut and without fluff. It leaves behind the dry and boring to bring you the enjoyably educational. Created to be easy to follow this information-packed book will show you: * How to breathe life into your characters * How to add color, texture and depth to your story and characters or your articles or copy * How to keep yourself organized * How to create a writer's reference library over time with little cost * How to get your writing moving with some simple exercises * How to translate "writing what you know" into actual words on a page And that's the first half of the book. The second half is quick help for the working (and/or struggling) writer. This book has been written not just to instruct the writer on how to get ideas down on paper, make characters more colorful, stories more interesting and article writing more engaging, but to help the writer find what he or she needs on the web to lead to great writing, research, learning and publication. There are web links to general guidance, resources, document sharing, marketing tips, young writers' resources, reference tips writing blogs and prompts and classes. There are resources which are free and others with costs, modest or otherwise. There's info on screenwriting, avenues to publication and places to find contests. A great resource to add to your virtual bookshelf.
