Graham G: English Style Or a Course of
Instruction for the Attainment of a Goo

English Style Or a Course of Instruction for the Attainment of a Good Style of Writing

Skills for Scholars

A playful and irreverent argument for—and practical guide to—writing in a rich and extraordinary style When it comes to literary style, the commonplace wisdom of composition classrooms, newsrooms, and editorial offices has long been that less is more. Students are taught that the best prose is that which eschews ornamentation and rhetorical flourish. But what if sometimes more is more? In Praise of Purple Prose playfully and cheekily contests a century worth of convention that rejects the baroque and byzantine as “purple prose,” making the case that fun and joy in language can be as important as concision and comprehension. Part style guide and part manifesto, the book rewrites the rules on writing. Ed Simon encourages writers to embrace the extraordinary, to call upon the classical rhetorical devices, and to relish in the richness of description and the erudition of allusion. He demonstrates that serpentine syntax, eccentric diction, and idiosyncratic punctuation, when used judiciously, can express the complexity of experience, bring out the pleasures of language, and help readers develop a unique voice in a world where AI threatens to make everyone sound alike. To illustrate its arguments, the book features examples of extraordinary prose from dozens of writers, including John Donne, Virginia Woolf, Joan Didion, Salman Rushdie, Marilynne Robinson, and Zadie Smith. Playful and provocative, In Praise of Purple Prose will leave readers with a new appreciation for fancy prose and inspire writers to draw on all of the liveliest and most powerful resources of English in their work.

A Guide to Writing with Elegance, Opulence, and Indulgence

In Praise of Purple Prose

An entertaining romp through bookish mishaps, exposing all the weird, wow! and wtf? moments that the literary world has to offer. Following on from the delightful How Words Get Good Lee turns her attention to literature's best mishaps and most scandalous mayhem.

How to Master the Art of the Verb and Transform Your Writing

Verb Your Enthusiasm

THE STORIES THAT STAY: On Writing, Memory, and the Art That Keeps Us AliveWhat happens when a writer finally listens back across everything he has made?For more than two decades, Tim Bryant has been writing novels - mysteries, Southern stories, books about music and grief and faith and small towns where guilt has somewhere to live. He thought he was moving on. The books, it turns out, were not.The Stories That Stay is the third book in Bryant's acclaimed writing series - following Why Write and What To Write - and it may be the most personal. Where the earlier books asked writers to examine their reasons and their craft, this one asks something harder: what has the work been doing to you all along?Tracing the hidden conversation running through more than twenty novels and manuscripts - from the PJ McBride mysteries set on a Southern university campus to a ninety-year-old woman who understands joy better than anyone around her, from a sacred relic emerging from the earth to a drummer driving home to bury his father - Bryant listens for what has been trying to survive there. What he finds is not a theory of fiction but something more intimate and more useful: an honest account of how stories make us, expose us, and carry us forward even when we are not brave enough to carry ourselves.Each chapter opens with a question the work kept asking: Why does the mystery need the town? Why does grief need the chair? Why does the wound need the body? The answers take Bryant through the architecture of character and place, through the theology of ordinary objects, through the stubbornness of the dead, and finally to the table where all human storytelling begins - and where it always, eventually, returns.This is a book for writers who are ready to be honest about what they are really doing. It is also a book for readers who have ever felt that a story, a song, or a sentence arrived in their life at exactly the necessary moment and stayed long after the reading was done.The table is still set. The stories are still being exchanged. And neither, Bryant insists, is over yet.

The Stories That Stay

1000 Plot Twists for Your Cozy Fantasy Novel

A kettle on the hearth. A familiar curled on the windowsill. The smell of something baking in a kitchen that has learned, over years of careful tending, to feel like home. In cozy fantasy, magic is not a weapon - it is a presence, a conversation, the particular quality of a world that knows you are there and is glad of it. When protagonists build lives worth having in communities worth belonging to and discover that the ordinary afternoon is full of wonder if you know how to look, the most powerful stories emerge from one question: what does it mean to be truly, quietly, completely home?Imogen Blake's 1000 Plot Twists for Your Cozy Fantasy Novel delivers complete, actionable complications designed specifically for the cozy fantasy tradition. Each twist embodies the genre's essential elements: community as the central value, magic as intimacy rather than power, conflict resolved through patience and creativity, and the deep satisfaction of a life built from small right acts.What you'll discover inside: <ul><li>The Magical Village Life - Enchanted cottages, market days, and the rhythms of a community worth belonging to</li><li>Small Mysteries &amp; Gentle Problems - Complications that invite ingenuity rather than catastrophe</li><li>The Magical Shop or Inn - Where strangers arrive and become known</li><li>Community &amp; Friendships - The found family, built through accumulated small kindnesses</li><li>Magical Creatures &amp; Companions - The familiar who sees everything and says what no one else will</li><li>Gentle Romance &amp; Relationships - Two people who are good for each other gradually discovering it</li><li>The Cozy Conflict - Mild villains, gentle mysteries, resolutions that leave everyone larger than before</li><li>Home &amp; Happiness - The arrival, the celebration, the moment of things being exactly right</li></ul>Layer these twists to create warmth without sentimentality. Stack the magical against the ordinary until the ordinary reveals itself as the more extraordinary of the two.The small is not the consolation prize. The tended life is the whole point.

The Mechanics of Composition

Sei uno scrittore fallito e ti spiego perché

Se hai iniziato un romanzo e non l'hai mai finito, questo libro ti riguarda più di quanto sia comodo ammettere. Se aspetti l'ispirazione, se ti offendi davanti alle critiche, se confondi una buona idea con una storia, se pensi che pubblicare significhi essere letto, se ami i tuoi aggettivi come figli fragili e i tuoi personaggi parlano tutti con la tua stessa voce, allora questo non è solo un libro sulla scrittura. È probabilmente una cartella clinica con copertina. Sei uno scrittore fallito e ti spiego perché è un anti-manuale ironico, tagliente e pratico per aspiranti autori, scrittori esordienti, narratori dilettanti, blogger, autopubblicati e per chiunque abbia mai pronunciato la frase sto lavorando a un romanzo con un'espressione più solenne del contenuto del file. Il libro smonta, uno dopo l'altro, gli autoinganni più frequenti di chi vuole scrivere: l'amore per l'immagine dello scrittore più che per la fatica della pagina, il culto dell'ispirazione, i manoscritti eternamente incompiuti, la falsa superiorità di chi pensa che il mondo non lo capisca, il terrore della revisione, la confusione tra talento e mestiere, tra pubblicazione e lettura, tra originalità e pasticcio intenzionale. Non troverai formule magiche, ricette per il bestseller, promesse editoriali o frasi motivazionali da stampare e appendere sopra la scrivania. Quelle servono soprattutto a decorare la stanza in cui continui a non scrivere. Troverai invece diagnosi spietate, esempi riconoscibili, battute scomode, esercizi pratici e una serie di verità che ogni aspirante scrittore dovrebbe ascoltare prima di infliggere al mondo il terzo prologo del suo romanzo ancora non finito. Il tono è sarcastico, ma non gratuito. La parola fallito non è usata come insulto: è una provocazione. Uno scrittore fallito non è necessariamente uno che scrive male. È uno che non finisce, non rilegge, non taglia, non accetta critiche, non studia il mestiere, si innamora della propria voce e spesso preferisce l'idea romantica dell'autore alla realtà poco fotogenica del lavoro. Ogni capitolo prende un errore e lo mette sotto una luce impietosa: personaggi senza voce propria, dialoghi che sembrano interrogatori, inizi meteorologici, spiegazioni inutili, aggettivi ornamentali, finali affrettati, paragoni comodi con i grandi autori, ossessione per le recensioni, vittimismo editoriale e molte altre piccole malattie della pagina. Ma questo libro non si limita a ridere del disastro. Dopo la diagnosi arriva sempre la parte utile: come riconoscere il problema, come correggerlo, come smettere di usare l'ego come editor e come trasformare un testo da alibi personale a oggetto leggibile. Non è un libro contro chi scrive. È un libro contro le bugie che chi scrive si racconta. Non ti farà diventare automaticamente uno scrittore. Però potrebbe impedirti di continuare a fallire sempre nello stesso modo.
