Lockwood S: Composition and Rhetoric for
Higher Schools

Composition and Rhetoric for Higher Schools

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 36 ways to improve your writing Two writers show you how to turn a worthy sentence into a memorable one. Starting where The Elements of Style leaves off, Good Writing can improve your book, your essay, your memo, your blog post, speech, or script. These essential rules for persuasive language work on any type of writing, and anyone can learn them quickly. Each rule is accompanied by examples and a lively pair of essays, the first by Neal Allen, who developed the list of tips over the course of his journalism and corporate careers; the second by his wife, Anne Lamott, acclaimed author of Bird by Bird and nineteen other nonfiction works and novels. The authors don’t always agree on the specifics, but they are passionate about making better sentences. As Neal writes, “These rules economize, favor the plainspoken and the specific, keep the reader’s attention sharp, and in other ways show respect for the audience’s time and desire for novelty.” Some rules are fundamental: Use strong verbs. Remove the boring stuff. Twist clichés. Some are more subtle: Draw on all five senses. Give your sentence a finale. Along the way, Good Writing addresses practicalities such as finishing projects despite challenges, trusting editors, and knowing when to break the rules to serve your story. Whether you're a novice writer or a seasoned author, this entertaining guide will revolutionize your approach to crafting sentences.

Want to create characters readers can't forget? Start here.Most fiction writers know what their characters do-but struggle with why they do it. Fiction Character Psychology bridges that gap, giving you the psychological frameworks professional writers use to build authentic, multi-dimensional characters that resonate with readers long after the final page. This isn't another "fill in the character worksheet" guide. It's a comprehensive exploration of human psychology specifically adapted for fiction writing-from foundational personality theory to the subtle markers of trauma, mental illness, and moral complexity. Inside, you'll discover: <ul><li>Personality architecture - How the Big Five traits, MBTI types, and Enneagram systems create distinct character voices and behavior patterns</li><li>Motivation frameworks - Why Maslow's Hierarchy (with a revolutionary internal/external needs approach) explains what drives your characters at every stage of their journey</li><li>Psychological authenticity - How to portray depression, anxiety, PTSD, personality disorders, and other conditions without stereotypes or exploitation</li><li>Relationship dynamics - The Karpman Drama Triangle, attachment styles, and interpersonal patterns that create compelling conflict</li><li>Moral complexity - How to build characters who operate in ethical gray zones without losing reader sympathy</li><li>Age-appropriate development - Psychological realism for characters from childhood through elderhood</li><li>Specialized populations - Authentic portrayal of characters with disabilities, neurodivergence, and marginalized identities</li><li>Applied techniques - Practical tools for revealing psychology through action, dialogue, and internalization rather than exposition</li></ul>Whether you're writing literary fiction, genre thrillers, romance, or science fiction, this reference transforms abstract psychology into concrete character-building strategies. Each section moves from foundational concepts to nuanced applications, with examples showing how psychological principles manifest in actual character behavior. Stop creating cardboard cutout puppets. Start building characters who leap off the page and live in the reader's mind.

El viaje emocional de escribir un libro y publicar

El escritor consciente

"An Approach to Composition Through Psychology" explores the intricate relationship between the human mind and the art of written expression. Written by Phyllis Robbins, this scholarly work delves into the cognitive processes that underpin effective communication and creative writing. By bridging the gap between psychology and linguistics, the book offers a unique pedagogical framework for understanding how thoughts are translated into structured prose.The text examines various psychological principles-such as perception, imagination, and emotion-and demonstrates their practical application in the craft of composition. Robbins provides educators and writers with insights into how mental habits influence clarity, style, and persuasion. Rather than focusing solely on grammatical rules, the work emphasizes the mental discipline required to master the written word.As a significant contribution to early 20th-century educational theory, "An Approach to Composition Through Psychology" remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of rhetoric and the evolution of writing instruction. It serves as an essential guide for understanding the intellectual foundations of literary creation and the psychological dimensions of the English language.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

An Approach to Composition Through Psychology

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.

Manuale semi-serio per sopravvivere alle illusioni letterarie
