Especially the one on editing. But actually, Crafting Scenes . . . Has a really helpful wind up chapter on final editing, too.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717808259082655272.post-4405295975875241852011-08-17T18:52:00.330-07:002011-08-17T18:52:00.330-07:00I've heard a lot about those books but haven&#...I've heard a lot about those books but haven't read them.

I learned so much, and the author has that wonderful wry turn of phrase that is so humorous in Irish prose, no matter how serious the subject.<br /><br />Rosi, you have also passed on some great reads to me. I think you would enjoy all three of these, the one for sheer good writing, the other two for great tips and reminders.<br /><br />Alleged and Rachna, thanks for the well-wishes. Every day in every way . . . :-), but I'll feel really great when I start driving again.<br /><br />Joy, one good thing about the enforced rest is time to revisit those craft books. They really are like old trusted friends reminding you they are there to help. So I'll probably be sharing more re-discoveries from time to time.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717808259082655272.post-69314449467341805022011-08-15T14:27:53.864-07:002011-08-15T14:27:53.864-07:00Take care of yourself and get some rest in!
