"This all may sound terribly cynical, but I am trying to tell you that reading shouldn’t be like washing dishes. I’m not saying that if you don’t like the opening sentence just give up. But after you’ve given a book a few chapters – if it doesn’t make you want to buy a dishwasher and get to bed early to collapse into your book – then maybe it just isn’t the book for you at the moment. Head to your local Indy store, share your opinions, faint if you must, but buy a different book."

The art of writing stories
This document discusses the art of writing stories and provides advice on incorporating artistic elements beyond just craft. It argues that the best stories have an artistic quality that transcends good structure and crafting. Some key points made include: considering concepts like madness, beauty, risk-taking, and serendipity; experimenting with perspectives, characters, and narrative voices; focusing on a single character-defining gesture or playing with expectations of an ending; and emphasizing style over shock value when including sensitive topics. The overall message is that writers should challenge conventions and take creative risks to bring an artistic element to their stories.

Harry Potter - A Review!
After being a Muggle for more than a decade, I bought the boxed-set of six books on a whim, and since then have had a breathtaking nonstop adventure, from the first page of the first book to the last page of the six. It's been one helluva ride, and I am here to share my observations, opinions, thoughts, with you. I am not here to criticize Rowling or offend any HP Fans, I just want to share what I think about the books. Also, if you are new to Harry Potter, I wouldn't advise that you start with this presentation, as there are spoilers and over-head transmissions galore.
Now Novel - A to Z of novel writing
The document provides an A-Z overview of tips for novel writing based on the author's experience. Some of the key tips covered include: reading work aloud to catch errors, letting work "breathe" by taking breaks between drafts, using empathy to develop characters, keeping work private from critics early on, treating writing like "stringing beads" by working in small increments each day, and maintaining solitude and quiet when writing to stay focused. The document emphasizes developing heart for one's work and being ruthless in editing as important aspects of the writing process.
Mary Downing Hahn
Mary Downing Hahn has been writing children's books for over 30 years. She got her start as a children's librarian and now has sold over 2 million copies of her books. Hahn enjoys writing ghost stories and mysteries, drawing from her own childhood memories and stories others have told her. She believes in keeping an open mind about ghosts since their existence can neither be proven nor disproven. Hahn advises aspiring young writers to read widely and write often in genres they enjoy.
Neal Wyatt--Reading Social Media
This document contains reviews and discussion of two books: Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen and Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin. One reviewer enjoyed the beautiful imagery and characters in Water for Elephants. Another reviewer found Mistress of the Art of Death to be a fast-paced mystery that kept them reading late into the night, with well-written characters set in historical fiction. The second reviewer expressed hope for a sequel to Mistress of the Art of Death.

NEWSPAPERS - QUESTION 1 - REVISION POWERPOINT.pptx
NEWSPAPERS - QUESTION 1 - REVISION POWERPOINT.pptx
QUIT LIT
- 1. HARRY POTTER I’m probably going to be banned from publishing for this: But Harry and his wizardry didn’t fill me with magic. And I know people who hate reading yet devoured the whole series with plodding abandon. I do love the story behind the story: J.K. Rowling lives with rats/ publisher’s tween reads the manuscript/ bestseller is born and Rowling can afford pest-control etc. etc. But Harry Potter… PAZZAM! May you disappear from my bookshelf.
- 2. THE 5 PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN Now I love a hallmarky-self-help book as much as the next person, thus I am not judging those who consume Albom’s anthologies incessantly. (OK, so my husband’s ex lists this on Facebook as her Most!! Favorite!! Book!! Ever!! … so maybe I am judging.) But the way this was written drove me to boredom mid-sentence. And the sentences are pretty short: “And then Eddie stopped running. He heard something.” My suggestion? Condense it into a chapter for ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul version 5127’
- 3. THE ORPHAN MASTER’S SON North Korea intrigues me. I am mesmerized by their synchronized marching. I mean, what is going on there? What was Kim Jong Il up to? It is just as well I’m not a journalist otherwise I’d be trying to smuggle myself in. So I held out a lot of hope for this book, raved about by critics upon release. But at 23% disappointment wore me down. It just lacked a bit of DRAMA. I paraphrase: “One day the orphan was digging secret tunnels in the dark like a ninja but his boots got wet and some people snuck into Soul but then snuck back. The next day some powerfulman came and instructed him he NB: I am currently trying to convince my was going to become a kidnapper. He went on a husband to read this so he can impart any boat and kidnapped”. North-Korean insight. If you read it, please fill me in on so I don’t have to smuggle myself C’mon, get a thesaurus and insert some across multiple illegal borders. emotion.
- 4. THE DRAGON TATTOO TRILOGY Here’s a better story: One day our bookstore manager was away at the Bologna Book Fair and I was doing an amateur impersonation filling in. It was the peak of the Dragon Tattoo craze and I just couldn’t keep the titles in stock. People swooned; I thought one conservative-tattoo-averse-looking customer was going to faint as she described the stories. “Her heart went fast. Renee thought, ‘This will be a good book’” (Sentence inspired by Mitch Albom, see previous slide.) I read the first of the trilogy, but it took me an echelon. Great premise, but I kept waiting to faint. Nothing.
- 5. THE GOURMET Muriel Barbery’s “The Elegance of the Hedgehog” is one of my Most!! Favorite!! Books!! Ever!!. “The Gourmet” was actually written first, and then republished on the tidalwave of Hedgehog’s success. Sadly, it isn’t worth a smidgen of comparison. All it did was send me in search of a carby meal to satisfy my unfulfilled literary expectations. If you haven’t read “The Elegance of the Hedgehog” you must – but I suggest trying Gourmet first. Maybe you’ll get some enjoyment out of it before your heuristics are reset by Don’t be a fat Hedgehog. hedgehog. Your scales will thank you.
