Explore this collection of straight-up stupid secrets to crafting the written word and discover that writing is far easier than people realize. All of the contained advice demonstrates the author's personal pursuit of just thinking less and always trying to be a bit dumber. From students to professionals, this book is for anyone that needs help getting out of your own way in order to be a better, faster, more efficient, more creative writer.Write Dumb helps writers understand the truth that everyone overthinks writing. You overthink it at work when you're writing even the most basic emails. You overthink it when texting. You overthink it by comparing your work to Hemingway (you're not). You overthink it and then tell yourself that that's your writing process (it's not). You overthink it when you think it's an impossible feat. You believe thought is the fuel for words, even though it's actually the one thing fueling your inability to get those words on the page. Writing is one of our strongest and most valuable tools we have to interact with this world, and yet we overthink it constantly because it scares us, it intimidates us, it challenges us, it makes us feel uncomfortable, and no one wants that nervous, I could fuck this up and look stupid feeling all day, every day. We don't fully understand it or feel comfortable experiencing it, so we waste time trying to add structure and rules and meaning and restrictions where they're not needed, or we altogether keep our distance. We blame the rules, or the endless possibilities, or the competition, and we run away from it. We say that writing down words to express ourselves is just not our thing, even though choosing not to write is no different than choosing not to speak. You can certainly give it a shot, but it's surely going to limit your ability to engage with the world around you. So why silence yourself? Why give in to fear and abandon this gift?Anyways, why not learn how to Write Dumb?

Techniques of the Selling Writer provides solid instruction for people who want to write and sell fiction, not just to talk and study about it. It gives the background, insights, and specific procedures needed by all beginning writers. Here one can learn how to group words into copy that moves, movement into scenes, and scenes into stories; how to develop characters, how to revise and polish, and finally, how to sell the product. No one can teach talent, but the practical skills of the professional writer's craft can certainly be taught. The correct and imaginative use of these kills can shorten any beginner's apprenticeship by years. This is the book for writers who want to turn rejection slips into cashable checks.

'Mediocre writers borrow. Great writers steal.' --T.S. Eliot Writing thieves read widely, dive deeply into texts, and steal bits and pieces from great texts as models for their own writing. Author Ruth Culham admits to being a writing thief - and she wants you and your students to become writing thieves, too! In The Writing Thief: Using Mentor Texts to Teach the Craft of Writing, Culham demonstrates a major part of good writing instruction is finding the right mentor texts to share with students. Within this book, you'll discover more than 90 excellent mentor texts, along with straight-forward activities that incorporate the traits of writing across informational, narrative, and argument modes. Chapters also include brief essays from beloved writing thieves such as Lester Laminack, David L. Harrison, Lisa Yee, Nicola Davies, Ralph Fletcher, Toni Buzzeo, Lola Schaefer, and Kate Messner, detailing the reading that has influenced their own writing. Culham's renowned easy-going style and friendly tone make this a book you'll turn to again and again as you coach your students to reach their full potential as deep, thoughtful readers and great writers. There's a writing thief in each of us when we learn how to read with a writer's eye!

In recent years, educators have become increasingly concerned about the writing skills of students in elementary, middle, and high school. They wonder what can be done to build proper writing skills, particularly in a generation of students who may consider text messaging to be the only writing a person needs to do. Extreme Writing describes how teachers can build upon the eagerness and skills that students apply to recreational, social, and friendly writing, bringing enjoyment back into writing for students. The Extreme Writing approach is not a precise formula for student achievement; rather, it is a shared discovery of the process, the adventure, the wonder, and the liberation inherent in writing.

Writing Better Copy is simple - it starts with opening this book. Writing Better Copy is a quick and easy read that will teach you how to write more effectively to convey your message quickly. Copywriting is simply the art of conveying a message from one person to another and the most important principle of copywriting is the ease and speed with which this message is communicated. When I first started working as a copywriter, I thought that I needed to use long words and complicated sentences to bamboozle readers into buying the products; that only long elegant prose would increase website conversions. I was wrong. Copywriting is about using the simplest words and sentences you can. People don’t read websites for the joy of reading, they read for information and if they don’t et it quickly they go somewhere else. Writing Better Copy cuts through the waffle and bumph and teaches you how to remove the unnecessary, trim away the excess and connect with your customers effectively. What this book teaches you: What you need to be a copywriter How to identify your audience when writing What is AIDA and how to use it in your writing The difference between the emotional sale and the logical purchase How to sell the sizzle and not the steak Finding what it is that really interests your potential customers Answering the “so what” question Should you write as you speak When to be funny in your writing Why your copy should be about “you” not “me” How to keep it simple, stupid Keeping things positive Creating a tone of voice Writing headlines, sublines and calls to action Writing for the web Editing your copy Proofreading techniques It took me years working as a copywriter to learn these strategies, with this book you can learn in about an hour what took me years to learn and cut straight to the good part. The part where you write better copy for your website and sell more of what you need to sell. Writing better copy is easy, the first step you take is by reading this book.

Hot Feminist written by Polly Vernon and has been published by Hachette UK this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2015-05-21 with Social Science categories.

*Perfect for fans of the Guilty Feminist* Hot (adj.) : (Of a person) Attractive 'a hot chick' Fem-i-n-ist (n.) : A person who supports feminism, the movement that advocates equal rights for women Polly Vernon, Grazia columnist, Times feature writer (hair-flicker, Brazilian-waxer, jeans obsessive, outrageous flirt) presents a brave new perspective on feminism. Drawing on her dedicated, life-long pursuit of hotness - having dismissed many of the rules on 'good' feminism at some point in the early 90s - she'll teach you everything you ever wanted to know about being a feminist when you care about how you look. When part of your brain is constantly monologuing on fashion. When you check out your own reflection in every reflective surface. When your depilation practices are pretty much out of control. When you just really want to be fancied. Hot Feminist is based on a principle of non-judgment (because there's enough already), honesty about how often we mess this up, and empowerment through looks. Part memoir, part road map, it's a rolling, raucous rejection of all those things we're convinced we shouldn't think / wear/ feel/ say/ buy/ want - and a celebration of all the things we can. It is modern feminism, with style, without judgment
