Spilling Ink by Anne Mazer and Ellen Potter, Illustrated by Matt Phelan
Don’t you just hate when you are assigned some complicated, crazy math problem? And you sit there for hours trying to figure out why one car would leave at the same time as the other and who even cares which one arrives at the grocery store first? Very frustrating! It would be much simpler if someone wrote clear, detailed steps for you on how to solve the problem and free you from your math torture.
Well, if you ever wanted to write a poem, a short story, a book, or just about anything and really weren’t sure how to do it, then you must read Spilling Ink by Anne Mazer and Ellen Potter!
Spilling Ink is an excellent instruction book for writers. It provides information and ideas for writers of all ages. From the basics of coming up with a topic to how to write effective dialogue, Spilling Ink covers it all.
The best thing about Spilling Ink is that it doesn’t teach you to write in a boring way, like those grammar lessons taught in an English class (of course I don’t mean a CMS English class!). Instead, the authors of this book provide funny, creative and interesting stories to help you learn how to write. Both authors are successful published writers, so you know what they have to say is important.
So, if you want to write the next Hunger Games, Harry Potter or Twilight saga, you must start by reading Spilling Ink!
