 | Kiya's Big Book of Writing Guidelines  [E] For all tips and guidelines to help improve your writing skills.  |
| (5.0)  Greetings, iKïyå§ama! I am reviewing this as I am taking part of the March Challenge for "Angel Review Forum" .  First of all, my reviews are intended to be helpful and encouraging, not hurtful in any way. Use what you feel works for you, and leave the rest.What I Liked  I've always loved reading writing tips! At one time, I had more writing books than I could ever hope to read.  I finally gave part of them away to a writing group leader who not only led a writing group in our town, but also visited a prison weekly where she led a writing group. I love picture prompts so when I discovered this article on getting short story ideas from a picture, I quickly connected! I felt you did a wonderful job on giving examples (and inspiration!) on that dirty, grimy baseball. My dad used to be a pitcher (and had a chance to try out for the Tigers back in the 50s but he'd joined the Air Force at that time) and that ball you posted made me think back when I was maybe five years old, sitting on the hood of a car watching my daddy pitch. The batter hit that ball high and I watched it in that clear blue sky coming down, down, down...on top of my head!  Long story short, the doctor said I had the hardest head he ever did see. I also love how you suggest to study that ball (or any picture for a prompt) and write down every word or phrase you can conjure up. It's like brainstorming and I love that! If you aren't already, I think you would make an excellent writing group leader! You've created an excellent, structured piece that would inspire anyone! Writing a book on writing might be something to think about, or articles for writing magazines, if you haven't accomplished this already.  Suggestions to Consider In your 5th Paragraph: one ends up with a short story that will have readers buying a supposed ordinary 'baseball' can become quite extraordinary. one ends up with a short story that will have readers buying a supposed ordinary 'baseball' [that?] can become quite extraordinary. I think you just forgot a word after 'baseball'. Final Thoughts Very inspiring!!! I love to be inspired and this writing article did the trick for me. Thank you for writing it! Have a great day and... K e e p on W r i t i n g ! Cubby ")
