The Lively Art of Writing

Rym

When I think back on it, I cannot recall anything that has had a more profound effect on the way I write than Lucile Vaughan Payne's The Lively Art of Writing. I'm sure Kenjura can attest to the fact that this book is brilliant. If you have trouble with writing, I highly recommend it.

Both of these books are hereby required reading for certain among you. I believe you know who you are.

Call me old school, but in my view, everyone should read The Elements of Style.

Growing up I was not taught to write. I was taught to churn out useless book reports and be able to pass a standardized tests. Thanks Baltimore Public Schools!
