Weinberg On Writing

Download or read book Weinberg on Writing written by Gerald M. Weinberg and published by Dorset House Publishing Company, Incorporated. This book was released on 2006 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author reveals his secrets for gathering, organizing, and discarding writing ideas. Drawing an analogy to the stone-by-stone method of building fieldstone walls, Weinberg shows writers how to construct fiction and nonfiction manuscripts from key insights, stories, and quotes. The elements, or stones, are collected nonsequentially, over time, and eventually find logical places in larger pieces. The method renders writer's block irrelevant and has proved effective for scores of Weinberg's writing class students, who have collectively published more than 100 books. If you've ever wanted to write a book or article--or need a fresh approach to your writing career--try what works for Weinberg and gather your best ideas into beautiful stone walls.
