Hello all-
Right now, I’m reading a book for continuing education. It’s not for college credit, but it’s for a Storytelling Certificate issued by the Midcontinent Public Library, Woodneath branch. It’s an amazing free program offered by The Story Center.
For the certificate, I have to complete several tasks. One of them is to read a book from a list about the craft of writing,, and write a 500-word review of it. I asked the head of the Story Center, and I’m reading the book, Simple and Direct by Jacques Barzan.
It is helpful for me, but it’s a bit dry for me. I am going slowly, one chapter at a time. It is as it says, how to write using simple and direct language. Would I recommend it? YES!!
