Writing Down the Bones (2013-07-03 23:39:45)

看的上一本关于的写作书里提到的这本书,看看了REVIEW,正好图书馆里有,就借来看了。是一篇篇的小文章,有点治愈的味道。
A List of Topics for Writing Practice
1. Tell about the quality of light coming in through your window.  Jump in and write.  Don't worry if it is night and your curtains are closed or you would rather write about the light up north - just write.
2. Begin with "I remember"
3. Take something you feel strongly about, whether it is positive or negative.
4. Choose a color - pink, then a walk, on your walk notice wherever there is pink and come back to your notebook and write for 15 minutes.
5. Write in different places
6. Give me your morning.
7. Visualize a place that you really love, be there, see the details, and write about it.  It could be a corner of your bedroom, an old tree you sat under one whole summer. What colors are there, sounds, smells?
8. Write about "leaving", leaving the house in the morning or divorce.
9. What is your first memory?
10. Who are the people you have loved?
11. Write about the streets of your city.
12. Describe a grandparent.
13. Write about:
swimming
the stars
the most frightened you've ever been
green places
how you learned about sex
the closest you ever felt to God or nature
reading and books that have changed your life
physical endurance
a teacher you had
14. Take a poetry book. Open to any page, grab a line, write it down, and continue from there.
15. What kind of animals are you?


Don't Tell, but Show: Don't tell the readers what to feel. Show them the situation, and that feeling will awaken in them.
The writer takes the reader's hand and guides him through the valley of sorrow and joy without ever having to mention those words.

 2023/7/22 11:22:24  张春去年开了自己的播客电台,每期都会邀请来5-8位的女性聊天,主题往往是生活中的小事。 比如讨论相亲,有女孩说,自己有一个相亲对象,双方家长已经在四五个月内互相约见了多次,但是那个男孩始终没有出现过。这桩相亲自然是进行不下去了,她却还...
