Writing Resources

Here are a few books to learn writing tips for beginners to advanced.

• "Method and Madness:  The Making of a Story" by Alice LaPlante.  This is an excellent book for learning styles and rhythm in writing stories.  I took a fall semester course at a local college and this was the book the teacher used for instruction.  Our syllabus included in each class to read a chapter, complete one of the exercises, and read one of the accompanying stories.  There were additional assignments for each class, so we were pretty heavy with homework!  I learned a lot from this instruction and the actual writing.
