What I Know About Writing
by M.E. Kerr M.E. Kerr, author of over nineteen books for young adults, informs and inspires writers of young adult fiction in this collection of several of her short stories, novel excerpts and Ms. Kerr's ideas and inspiration for the stories. Ms. Kerr gives practical advice to developing writers, using her stories and novel excerpt as examples. She explains that there are certain courtesies the writer should extend to the reader such as, "[d]on't cheat the reader, take the time to give your characters interesting names, an idea is not a story and don't expect the reader to stick with if you if you veer away from the story." Mr. Kerr explains these concepts and introduces many others in this "learn by example" writer's aide. A good motivational and learning tool for the young children's writer seeking to improve his or her craft.
