Writer Talk
As part of our talk for writing initiative, we have been thinking about writer talk recently. This is where we consider the emotion or response that the writer triggers in us and then how they did it.
One of the things that we all know is that writers read. Stephen King in On Writing, a memoir of the craft says
Reading is the creative center of a writer’s life. p142
I have been enjoying Waterstone’s Writer’s choice over the last few months. This is a display of 40 books that authors have found to be important to them for a variety of reasons. I particularly like the little cover which they write for each book.
What a great idea this would be for children to do. They could compile a list of 5 or 10 books that are really important to them and their writing and pen a little cover explaining why. This would make a great display in a classroom or library.
Kate mosse is the current author and I have selected several of her choices for holiday reading.
