I'm working through writing craft books each morning this year, and first up was Le Guin's Steering the Craft. I found the exercises on POV to be invaluable and appreciated that she didn't wave around formulaic story structure flags.

Le Guin’s Steering the Craft

I'm working through writing craft books each morning this year, and first up was Le Guin's Steering the Craft. I found the exercises on POV invaluable and really appreciated that she didn't wave any formulaic story structure flags.

@KimSchebler I am most definitely from the "If I use that whatsit there with the kinda pointy end" school, but I can wield a whatsit with a reasonable amount of skill and will deploy semicolons like a lawyer. 😉 [I truly had to resist the urge to do that emoticon with a semicolon.]

@KimSchebler I love that wise and cranky book. The examples alone are worth the price of the book and the exercises are full of story craft nutrients.
