Notice Out Of Books Writing Magic: Creating Stories that Fly

I'm sixteen years old and have had this book for s couple of years now and let me just say that no book has ever communicated such a deep appreciation and love of the art and whimsical power of writing as Gail Carson Levine did in this book. I've written stories for as long as I van remember and this book has been a true treasure to me! I recently finished an almost 300 page book that sparked from one of the story openers in this book! My story change over time and went from the intended 20

I want to qualify my three star rating with this: Were I in the age group this book is intended for, I'd probably have rated it a 4 or 5.This is a good book for its audience, and elementary school kids should enjoy reading the short chapters that teach writing basics with a familiar, friendly tone. This book invites kids to play on the page, and encourages the magic of writing while striving to remove the pressure of first draft perfection. It also teaches readers to "Save what you

Another great book about learning to write. It had some good tips about publishing that I found very useful.

Ms. Levine presents writing in an easy non-overwhelming way that inspires writing even in me. Her advice is a wonderful lead into the writing life and makes it fun when so many writers make it sound like some sort of torturous walk across the desert to make a masterpiece. I wish I had read some of her advice when I was younger. I would have leaned towards the school of revision sooner and not thought that the masters of writing never made mistakes.

I. Love. This. Book. Writing Magic is not the type of book on writing that tells you how to write. It is more a book of writing prompts and exercises. Mrs. Levine doesn't tell you how to write, she just gives you advice and examples of things like writing in the third person, or writing details in your stories. One of my favorite chapters is Writers' Groups and Other Helpers. It is about being involved in writers groups, or just letting others see your writing. As a writer I know how it is to

This one was recommended by a 16-year-old patient. She is a wonderfully plethoric writer and will someday go on to inspire thousands of young writers. She would like to be a writing mentor and expert later in life due to a "narrow-ness" of writing education in India for high-schoolers, middle-schoolers and senior citizens. While reading the book, my mind was peppered with reminders of her comments, passion and creativity. Also got around to watching "Ella Enchanted" (the movie) again - loved it!

This is a great, sweet, straightforward craft book, and I wish I'd had it when I was in sixth grade.
