Title: Plentiful New Ideas in this Compact Volume
Review: I am always pleased to find new ideas to compliment my writing. I am a forever student, knowing I can always improve on my craft - this book delivers in some surprising ways.As I was reading along I thought to myself, "What if a committed writer took each technique and spread it over one day at a time?" I realized any writer would see a dramatic increase in writing effectiveness.I especially enjoyed the section on Making Yourself a LIKEABLE writer. I had never considered that before - although in some writers tone and style I don't like them at all. Its companion section "12 Ways to Avoid Making Your Reader Hate You" is equally excellent and includes such tips as avoid jargon, clichés, parenthesis - which Provost's distinction of parathesis "annoying interruption" will stick with me forever.Also included is a helpful and simple grammar/punctuation primer.
