A fill-in book from the San Francisco Writers' Grotto, authors of the
best-selling 642 Things series.
Focus on a single aspect of the craft of writing with help from the San
Francisco Writers' Grotto. Writing Action kicks off with a foreword by
an award-winning author and journalist Bonnie Tsui, who offers pointers
for creating page-turning prose. The rest of the book consists of
prompts and space to write, providing opportunities to explore how both
high-stakes and low-key moments can be action-packed. Among other ideas,
you'll be asked to write an account of:
- a highly competitive game of hopscotch
- an orange being peeled as if it were the last one on earth
- a car ride with an overly confident student driver
- a meal prepared by a cook who is really depressed
- the step-by-step process of opening a long-awaited piece of mail
Perfectly sized to take to a café, on vacation, or on your morning
commute, this book is designed for practicing your creative writing a
little bit at a time.
