Dietz D: Coffee, Chaos & Chapters

Coffee, Chaos & Chapters

A Practical Guide for Aspiring Authors

Most composition textbooks begin with skills like thesis writing and paragraph structure. This one begins with a person. Writing as Self-Design is a transformative textbook in which students examine control of information and discover their agency in meaning-making. Informed by neuroscience, rhetorical theory, digital literacy, and composition pedagogy, this book challenges students to question how meaning is made, filtered, and constrained in the digital age, and to develop their unique voices through composition strategies that reclaim writing as an act of self-design. It is a book which responds to the technological landscape in which we find ourselves. Rather than convincing students of the value of research and writing, Writing as Self-Design allows them to discover their own emotional value through enhanced agency in inquiry and resistance. Through this textbook, composition becomes a space in which students question information control, the hedonic cycle of passive consumption, and their greater agency in creativity and intentional design. Recognizing the ubiquity of tools like AI, this book encourages critical examination of how and why they are used. Students engage with algorithmic bias, misinformation, datafication, and the influence of platforms like Google, TikTok, and ChatGPT: not just as topics, but as forces that shape the way they think, write, and relate to the world. The value of Writing as Self-Design will resonate well beyond the classroom, addressing the importance of the critical skills needed to navigate the "total noise" of our media-saturated lives, build personal definitions of success, and rediscover the creative cycle that leads to lasting happiness and fulfilment.

Twenty Problems of the Fiction Writer

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.

What Every Writer Needs to Know

The Copyright Handbook

Oral and Written English Upper Book. Three Book Edition

This book is an interdisciplinary collection of concise investigations into everyday artifacts that matter to writers and writing.With the collection's 31 contributors and through the lens of material culture studies, the editors make a case that the study of writing is the study of artifacts. Each chapter centers on a distinct artifact, including an 1899 course notebook, the delete key, the graffiti spray can, Indigenous paper, the Ouija board, and a retirement home noticeboard, as a means of exploring what each says about writing culture and writing lives. Together, the chapters show that, even if at first we don't understand how or why, the artifacts that populate our lives deserve close attention. The close attention paid to artifacts in this book demonstrates both the particularity of possessions (this Ouija board or my delete key) and their universality, as so many people's experiences with writing depend on similar possessions. In this way, each represents a moment in writing's story and timeline, while also living in many stories and timelines, begging for artifactual study. While readers will easily recognize some artifacts in this book as writing artifacts, others illustrate how writing must be understood expansively, to capture the range of symbolic human expression and mirror the complex ways writing is experienced in people's lives, beyond the moment of inscription.An accessible, cross-disciplinary archive of contemporary and historical writing artifacts that matter to writing practice, this book will be of interest to writers of all kinds, as well as students and scholars of writing in fields including Writing, Literacy, and Rhetoric Studies; Material Culture Studies; Art History; History and Communication Studies.Chapter 21 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

The Writing of English

The WAC Clearinghouse

Sites of Writing builds upon the multiple contributions of Anne Ruggles Gere across a long and highly productive career. The chapters in this edited collection, written by leading scholars (including some of Gere's former students) to track her major contributions to writing studies, situate those contributions within the broader landscape of field development, and draw on those findings to assess important trends and project productive pathways for the future. The contributors to the collection consider disciplinary history, language and literacy, writing across the curriculum, digital rhetoric, writing's extracurriculum, assessment, and English education, among other areas. Connecting these multiple fields of activity, Sites of Writing affirms Gere's view of writing as a powerful social and cultural activity and of literacy, broadly conceived, as enabling cultural transformations and, in the process, transforming writing studies and other fields.
