I had heard others mention
THE
ART OF WAR FOR WRITERS: FICTION WRITING STRATEGIE, TACTICS, AND EXERCISES by
JAMES SCOTT BELL, and to be
honest, I resisted purchasing it. I don’t always believe all the hype. That is
until I spotted this tiny book at a writing conference a few years back. I
finally relented and made the decision to purchase it. Still, it sat on my
shelf of books to be read. Now, years later, I finally read it.
Wow! I do believe
that God gives you what you need, just when you need it. If ever the saying “Tiny,
but mighty” was true, it would be in reference to this book. I just LOVED the extremely
short chapters. They are quick, precise, yet packed with core information. All
the basics you need to write a great book, without all the fancy words and sentences
to jumble your brain, threatening to lose the point. There was not one single
chapter - of 77 - that I did not gain knowledge from.
THE
ART OF WAR FOR WRITERS will be a book forever near as I continue my writing journey.
Even if you have been writing for some time, it’s a quick reminder of the dos
and don’t that you are sure to find helpful.
