1.0 out of 5 stars My good deed for 1999, April 8, 1999

By A Customer

Now, I know why nobody bothered to comment on this book before. Seriously, it is an insult for someone to jot down whatever just for the sake of selling a book. This book pales in comparison with works like "If you want to write" by Brenda Ueland, "Writing for Fiction" by Jon Franklin and "On Writing Well" by William Zinsser.

Well, this is my good deed for the year!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best writing seems as easy as ABC..., December 14, 1999

By A Customer

but, of course, it's not. I found Ann Copeland's book very helpful and encouraging. She reminded me that writing, although a struggle, should always be fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ABC's of Writing Fiction, December 29, 2001

By	Lucinda Smith (Fremont, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Being a newcomer to writing, I have found Ann Copeland's guide to writing very helpful. The entries are in alphabetical order and are all cross-referenced, making hopping around to read more on a particular subject of interest simple. I am a nonlinear thinker and find it easier to remember things if they are learned within a framework of my own interests at the time. In this book I can find a subject of interest easily and inevitably end up bouncing from one related entry to another, always finding new wisdom and important reminders in the suggestions.

1.0 out of 5 stars ABC's are for Kindergarteners
Unfortunately, this book is little more than a glossary of writing terms. Under "S" you'll find "scene" and "subplot" and "setting". Read more
