Live Writing

Every writer has a tool box. Instead of awls and hammers, a writer's toolbox contains words, imagination, a love of books, a sense of story, and ideas for how to make the writing live and breathe. So says Ralph Fletcher. And he also says that he wrote this book to give young writers some practical strategies to throw into their toolbox that will help them energize their writing, make it zing, something to hear, and something to hold.
