How to Write Good by John Vorhaus. Sign-ups for this discussion run from April 18th—May 15th. Discussion will be on May 15, 2013.

Amazon Links:

• Paperback Edition ($5.99)
• Kindle Edition ($4.99)

Description:

• Starting with a wink at his own dumb title and a case for whimsy as a writer’s best friend, veteran writer and writing instructor John Vorhaus offers us this latest glimpse inside his writing mind. Drawing on a quarter-century of experience in writing scripts and novels, and teaching and training writers worldwide, Vorhaus delivers a quick, expressive overview of the writing process, how to engage it, and how to beat its common pitfalls. With abundant concrete writing strategies and an empowering generosity of spirit, How to Write Good joins JV’s classic Comic Toolbox in providing what every writer needs: rules, tools, and a good, swift kick in the motivation.

Description:

• The Artist’s Way is the seminal book on the subject of creativity. An international bestseller, millions of readers have found it to be an invaluable guide to living the artist’s life. Still as vital today—or perhaps even more so—than it was when it was first published one decade ago, it is a powerfully provocative and inspiring work.In a new introduction to the book, Julia Cameron reflects upon the impact of The Artist’s Way and describes the work she has done during the last decade and the new insights into the creative process that she has gained. Updated and expanded, this anniversary edition reframes The Artist’s Way for a new century.

Note: There are several options when ordering this book. I’ve listed the paperback because it is the least expensive, however, a Kindle version, a hardcover, a three-in-one book (The Complete Artist’s Way, which includes The Artist’s Way, Walking in this World, and Finding Water), as well as accompanying journals, workbooks, and daily devotionals are available.
