It touts itself on not being a book about creative writing, but somehow manages to hit the fundamental nails on the heads in each chapter. Lukeman's book should be required reading for anyone writing out there.

I went to Barnes and Noble looked through a couple of writer's books and brought this one. I think it will help me. Seems like an interesting book.

Dictionaries are always nice to snuggle up to. We recently got an unabridged dictionary from a neighbor. It's a second edition Merriam-Webster. Old, but interesting. Unfortunately, it doesn't give the dates for the words like our collegiate dictionary. I might look into that book :D I like strange words. Dictionaries are always nice to snuggle up to.
