Einleitungssatz
If I were fully conscious of my surroundings at this moment, I would describe the light through the miniblinds, the way it searches out the apples in the glass bowl, buffing them to an unnatural sheen. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

This book is a valuable tool for any writer, and I have been recommending it to all my students here at the Iowa Summer Writing Festival. Teachers, especially those who work with beginning creative writers in a community setting, will find the incredible exercises listed at the end of each chapter invaluable. I find myself asking, why didn't I think of that one? The examples she uses to illustrate her comments on using all five senses are drawn from the classics and from contemporary sources, all chosen for Virginia Woolf's "common reader." The language is very readable and approachable; and the charm and enthusiasm of the writer comes through. This is the best teaching tool I have bought in years.

This is one of the best books on improving your writing skills. Ms. McClanahan's writing style is inviting and reassuring. Both beginners and experienced writers will benefit from her instruction on how adding descriptive elements will enrich the reading experience for our target audience and make us better writers.

This book has been a godsend to me. It's been enormously helpful in doing the final edit of my novel. Reading it made me feel like I had my own personal editor. The conversational tone of the book is inviting, nurturing, and encouraging. Any discussion of point of view usually makes me groan, but the way Rebecca McClanahan writes about it is exceptionally sane, enthralling even.
The author is a master teacher, writer, and reader. Rebecca McClanahan is generous in sharing the secrets of her fine craft.
This book would be fabulous for intermediate to advanced writers to read at least once a year to help keep the pencil sharp. The writing exercises are provocative and creative.
This book showed me many things I would never have learned on my own. It made me want to be a better writer.
