All day, all Little G hears about are rules—rules from his mom and dad, rules from his teacher, rules from his pastor and Sunday school teacher at church. If little G wants to sleep in, he has to get up and get ready for school because that's the rule. If he wants to eat ice cream, he has to eat his vegetables first because that's the rule. Even when he rides his bike, he has to stay where his parents can see him because that's the rule. But what would happen if Little G got to live in a world without rules? What if Little G could eat cookies, candy, and ice cream all day, stay up late, and ride his bike anywhere without his parents watching? In A World Without Rules, Gloria Grace tells the story of what happens to Little G when he no longer has to follow any rules. Will life without rules be as much fun as Little G always imagined? Or will he discover that a world without rules is a little too crazy even for him?

Writing Without Rules
Author: Jeffrey Somers
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1440352968
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
Stop What You're Doing and Write! Yes, You; Write! Most writing guides imply--or outright state--that there's a fixed, specific formula or list of rules you must follow to achieve writing and publishing success. And all of them are phonies. Well, not completely. There are real, applicable techniques and strategies in any writing reference to help you. But the idea that there's only one way of writing? Nuts! With unconventional approaches to the craft, fresh angles on novel writing and selling, a healthy dose of humor, and no promise of refunds, Writing Without Rules is for those writers who have tried and tried again--and are ready to success on their own terms. In these pages, accomplished author Jeff Somers will show you: • The key to a successful writing career is doing the actual writing, no matter the circumstances. • Fantastic ideas are available everywhere--you just need to know how to tap into sources through a variety of approaches. • Important craft aspects that you should focus on, such as characters and dialogue, while spending less time on others, like setting. • Effective ways to get published--whether it's traditional or self-publishing--and how to supplement your income. Whether you're a plotter, a pantser, or somewhere in-between, Writing Without Rules is for those writers who are looking for a fresh take on tackling the challenge of writing and selling a novel, and building a career. As Somers will show you, it's less about being perfect in everything, and more about having the confidence to complete everything.
