Gardiner J: The Mother Tongue

Elements of English Composition, by J.H. Gardiner, G.L. Kittredge and S.L. Arnold

Tradd Street Press

"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.

The Cozy Fantasy Author's Toolkit: The Complete Collection Somewhere in your imagination there is a village. You can almost see the bakery window, the inn at the end of the lane, the neighbour on the doorstep with a casserole and an apology rehearsed over a decade of quiet mornings. You know what kind of world this is - one where magic lives in the kitchen and kindness is the bravest thing a person can do. You just need help getting there. This is that help. 1,000 Characters hands you a town already populated. Fourteen chapters of townsfolk - hearth-keepers and elders, eccentrics and the quietly wounded - every one arriving with a want and a story seed, ready to be placed on your page and set in motion. 1,000 Writing Prompts opens the door and lets you walk in. A spare loaf set on the windowsill each dawn for whoever might need it. An innkeeper whose door has never once been locked, on the night of the worst weather in years. A thousand beginnings that know, as cozy fantasy knows, that the ordinary afternoon is full of wonder if you know how to look. 1,000 Plot Twists gives your story somewhere to go - complications built for this genre's particular logic, where conflict is resolved through patience, community is the point, and the resolution leaves everyone a little larger than before. Three volumes. One complete toolkit. Everything the world in your head has been waiting for. The small is not the consolation prize. The tended life is the whole point.

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.

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

Verb Your Enthusiasm

The Psychopath

The most terrifying villain isn't the one who hates you. It's the one who feels nothing at all. The Psychopath is the villain who walks among us - the charming colleague, the attentive partner, the professional whose interior runs on a different current from everyone around them. These characters cut across every genre, from crime and thriller to horror, psychological thriller, dark fantasy, and science fiction. The mask is the horror. The Psychopath gives you the tools to write antagonists who genuinely disturb. You'll learn how real-world psychology can inform your villain, how to build masks that hold across hundreds of pages, and how to write dialogue that sounds right until it doesn't. This book covers the psychopath's relationships with partners, victims, and the witnesses who nearly see them in time. It covers the craft of writing a downfall that comes from the character's own miscalibration rather than the hero's virtue. And it covers the responsibility of writing psychopathy accurately - not as a catch-all for every mental illness the genre has conflated it with. Whether your psychopath is a serial killer, a manipulative spouse, a corporate predator, or a post-human intelligence, this guide will help you create a villain the reader cannot safely put away.

Oh My God

Gods are everywhere in romance. Good god romance is rare. Why? Most writers slap a domain on an angel, add some immortality angst, and think they've written god romance. They haven't. They've written angel romance with a mythology aesthetic. God romance is about pantheons where divine politics matter. About domains that shape identity and limit power. About the weight of immortality when everyone you love dies. About worship creating dependency, not just devotion. About loving across a divide that can't be closed. It's complicated to get right. Your pantheon needs functioning politics, not just name-drops. Your god needs genuine divinity while staying relatable. Your mortal needs agency despite the power gap. Your worship dynamics need to avoid romanticizing submission. Your story needs to justify why this isn't just angel romance with different terminology. This book shows you how. - What actually separates gods from angels (and why it matters) - Pantheons that create politics, conflict, and depth - Domains and worship that shape your story - The mortality/immortality problem and how to make it hurt - Power dynamics that stay romantic without becoming toxic - The tropes that turn god romance problematic &gt;Write the Bite: Book 11. For writers ready to write god romance that earns the distinction. Because calling an angel a god doesn't make it divine.

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.

Writing Opportunities presents in-depth text histories illustrating the interrelationship of writing, identities, and belonging in college writing transitions. Drawing on more than two years of research with three Latinx/a/o students transitioning from the same high school class to the local university, Brad Jacobson brings together analyses of interview transcripts, student writing, classroom genres, and institutional policies to foreground a sense of belonging as central to writing development and learning.Including interviews with students and their instructors, Jacobson traces writing opportunities that Hercules, Jain, and Lucy were afforded as they transitioned from high school to college writing, particularly in general education courses. Chapters attend to multiple levels of interaction to show how policies, practices, and social histories can impact opportunities for learning. With attention to dominant discourses of writing that narrow what counts as good writing as well as positive opportunity structures that extend possibilities for identification, engagement, and deep learning, Jacobson also posits writing as an opportunity for writers to explore possibilities for who we are and who we may become.Jacobson's humanizing research invites readers to consider opportunity from multiple perspectives and shows how subtle shifts in relationships among students, instructors, and institutions can increase meaningful learning and provide a sense of belonging in educational contexts.
