Comments on: Learning to Write XXIV http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/learning-to-write-xxiv/ Reflections of a working writer and reader Sat, 19 May 2012 08:23:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: john baker http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/learning-to-write-xxiv/comment-page-1/#comment-37032 john baker Sun, 11 Mar 2007 20:11:37 +0000 http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/learning-to-write-xxiv/#comment-37032 [Unfortunately, <a href="http://www.artswom.co.uk/2007/03/08/learn-to-write-then-write/" rel="nofollow">ArtsWom</a> was not around to cover the previous XXIII tutorials in John Baker’s effortlessly engrossing “Learning to Write” series. However, that is no excuse to ignore the blog that offers more, for free, than months of creative writing classes. The writer’s most recent lesson teaches us how successfully integrating theme, character and plot will help to create a far more believable and three-dimensional character, defined more effectively by their actions than by lengthy descriptions. Baker passes on his expertise in such a casual manner that it barely feels like you’re learning - he honestly makes it sound so simple.] [Unfortunately, ArtsWom was not around to cover the previous XXIII tutorials in John Baker’s effortlessly engrossing “Learning to Write” series.

I have taken creative writing classes before but I'm impressed with how you get your lesson across without burying the message under pretentious language and fanciful techniques.

Very good. Concrete advice. I'll use that and become a better writer. Thank you. <strong>jb says</strong>: Hi Bill. You're already a good writer. I was going to say, if you get too much better we'll have to reorder the universe. But we should be OK if you just do it incrementally. That’s good. Very good. Concrete advice.
