Learning to write well is a never-ending journey<\/span>. My writing tools are practice, workshops, books, and conferences. Except for the memoirs that inspired me to write mine, these resources still help me hone my skills.<\/p>\n

Another resource is to join writers' groups. I am a member of the International Women's Writing Guild and the Federation of British Columbia Writers. Locally, I am also a member of the North Shore Writer's Association.<\/p>\n

It is also essential to stay informed via the blogs or newsletters of publishing professionals.<\/p>\n

This one-of-a-kind grammar book is a jewel. The original edition was published sometime in the early 1900s. I kept the 2005 edition, wonderfully illustrated by Maira Kalman, on my night table for years. Whimsical illustrations kept me engaged when I was about to give up and shut the book on either the Elementary Rules of Usage, Principles of Composition, Form, or Approach to Style. However, Words and Expressions Misused, and Words Often Misspelled, were more engaging, not to mention punctuation pointers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

I bet many writers own this book that reminds us that, like running, the more we write, the better we get at it. More than that, the book encourages us to break the rules. I often follow the advice to deconstruct a sentence when it doesn't read right, so I can reconstruct it in a better way, one that wasn\u2019t obvious at first. A Zen master, Goldberg believes in the power of simplicity, of subtraction in writing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

I worked on this book after my Freelance and Feature Writing course with the London School of Journalism. If writing interests you, and you don\u2019t know how to begin, this is the book for you. From journaling about the simplest of things, you will learn the basics of memoir writing and develop your skills. Write about what you know! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

As a memoirist, the author shows the ropes of nonfiction while sharing the story of her happy marriage. It\u2019s personal, of course, but it doesn\u2019t let you forget that this is a tutorial book, each chapter giving you a guided assignment to help you stay on track with memoir writing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

'An irreverent black belt memoirist' is good imagery for the author. After all, she has been deemed\u00a0 'the greatest memoirist of all times.' She tells it like it is. The language is raw and to the point. It took me aback at first. She shows that writing a compelling memoir demands an unbridled mind. And, she demonstrates the efficacy\u2014and science\u2014of swearwords in a narrative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

First published in 1990, this book is more engaging than ever because it's a guide for the feminine healing process. It\u2019s both a self-help book and a writing tutorial.

This book is evidence that writing a memoir is a work of introspection and that memory can be subjective, \u201cit\u2019s the meaning we make of our lives.\u201d Sometimes, a taste or a scent, or perhaps a sound becomes the spark that ignites the recall of the past. Recalling and writing should continue until we feel in harmony with what we honestly shared\u2014the story and the emotions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

I once had an English professor who had a Ph.D. in punctuation. I was impressed. The author of this book manages to give context and life to commas, dashes, and other semicolons through a memoir.

The story in a book is like the story in a film. The beginning must develop logically to the end, each scene and dialogue advancing the narrative. Rule number one to write a script: know your logline and stick to it. In fiction and nonfiction, keep your subtitle in mind.

\"Baking is a catastrophe waiting to happen,\" Anna Olson explains. Good writing is essential to help cookbook users, since a misunderstanding could lead to that catastrophe! If you always wanted to write a cookbook, learn from the best. Other than adding a specific vocabulary to my repertoire, and delicious imagery too, I have been inspired by the book interior design and its inviting cover.

Ah, old textbooks might not be enticing, but they are relevant, especially collections of essays by celebrated authors. Sometimes, they give me a seed of inspiration.
