Thirty Days to More Powerful Writing

Every writer strives for a powerful style to call their own. This book puts together a schedule that will supply you with the tools to write effectively and comfortably. The first day starts you off on the preparatory stage - trying to get you in the frame of mind to write. This is a period of self-reflection and freeing your mind of all the anxieties that may get in the way of good, solid writing. Then you're ready to choose a topic and start writing. The second day keys in on your observation skills and on getting your thoughts and words concrete. As the next few days go by you will be sharpening your skills in describing persons, asking questions, organizing your notes, drawing parallels and sharpening contrasts. The next week starts with the 8-day lesson about finding more evidence. When making a point you will look for as many sources as possible so that you can draw on the best examples to support the facts. As the second week comes to an end you will have skills on judging your audience, writing in a a conversational and human style, and learning to simplify what you write.
