Book REVIEW by LAWonder10:
Once again, Bubba is off to uncover his special magic hole in the ground to go on another unknown adventure! Of course his sister cannot let her younger brother go alone. She must trust him. This time the two end up in a very dark, silent tunnel. Thank goodness they brought their flashlights. Just about the time they were unsure where they should go, a sound of small feet pattering led the way. They were astonished where they landed this time! This is such an incredible, fun fantasy which entertains and educates at the same time. It is written in a simple way so it is easily understood. The Characters and the scenes are portrayed very well and allows the reader to feel connected to the tale. The Book cover and the Title are both well chosen. It is perfect as a "chapter book" for early readers. Ths is a fun story the family can enjoy together. I offer a Five Stars rating. * This book was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review.
Top Ten Tips to Become a Better Writer
Writing takes practice. To get in the habit of doing it, follow tips one and two: 1. Find your writing space. Have a comfortable space without distractions that’s conducive to writing. 2. Create a writing ritual. Set aside a specific time each day or week that is used only for writing. Learn from others. Tips 3 through 6 can help. 3. Read works by great writers. Look for books by award-winning authors – preferably those who have won prestigious literary awards. A lot can be learned about character development and plot by doing this. 4. Read books on the craft of writing. Elements of Style, Storyworks Guide to Writing Character, and Save the Cat Writes a Novel are some good ones to check out. 5. Take a writing course. Writers’ conferences are a good source for these, but there are many free online ones if budget and time are issues. 6. Get workshop feedback. Critique groups, of course help. It’s even better to get professional opinions at writers’ workshops. Here are some technique tips: 7. Describe and be clear. The clearer the writing, the easier it is for the reader to become a sensory participant in the story. 8. Leave adverbs out. A few are okay, but for the most part, they’re not needed. 9. Learn to be conversational. Make sure dialog sounds as it would in conversation. 10. Revise. The all-important step for ensuring that a manuscript is the best it can be. ![]()
