The other day, I was looking at books. i was reading titles and reviews and suggestions. I came across a book by Susan M Tiberghien titled "One Year to a Writing Life." (Twelve lessons to Deepen Every Writer's Art and Craft) It sounded interesting, plus it had some very good reviews. Yes, I always read the reviews. I want to know what others think about books that I am interested in reading.
The book is a treasure-box of exercises and prompts and examples that make the writer think. I like that. It is also a book for a writer at any stage. I really think that I am going to enjoy the book. I also love it when a book is practical. I like things that I can use.
Some have said that reading this book is like being in her workshops.
The twelve lessons are as follows:
1. Journal Writing
2. Personal Essays
3. Opinion and Travel Essays
4. Short Stories and the Short-Short
5. Dreams and Writing
6. Dialogue
7. Tales: Folk, Fairy, and Contemporary
8. Poetic Prose and the Prose Poem
9. The Alchemy of Imagination
10. Mosaics and Memoir
11. Rewriting
12. Writing the Way Home
It is suggested that the writer spend one month on each lesson. Of course, anyone may rush, but I think that rushing would make it too easy to miss something important.
When I looked over the chapters, I noticed that some of these subjects are actually areas that I have wanted to explore. This is going to be good for me.
