I just finished reading BIRD BY BIRD by Anne Lamott. I had never
heard
of it before the Inklings Readers' Poll in which I asked all of
you
what your favourite writers' reference books were. BIRD BY BIRD
is one
of the only books about writing that I've read and enjoyed the
same
way as I do a good novel. Not many writing instruction books make
me
laugh out loud on one page then get me misty-eyed a few pages
later. I
welcome letters from anyone who is as enthusiastic about other
writing
books. I'll include selected recommendations in upcoming issues
of
Inklings.
Writer's Digest printed a correction in the Letters section of
the
March issue giving the correct URL of my Writers' Resources
website...but gave the WRONG E-MAIL ADDRESS for Inklings in the
correction. I am writing to them again, but I suspect they
probably
don't print Corrections of Corrections.

HOW HAS THE ADVENT OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION
AFFECTED THE TECH WRITING PROFESSION?
by James T. Green (jgreen@oboe.calpoly.edu)
There are a lot of ways to approach this question. I'll address
a few
ways of answering this questions. If anyone has an comments,
please
speak up :-).
Web documents can be accessed quickly. They can be updated
quickly as
well. A well managed web system can be updated almost in real
time.
The use of hypertextual links enables the target user to speed
through the
information presented in a non-linear fashion. This enables the
user to
get their information the way they choose rather than in the way
the
writer chooses.
The tech writer him/herself is affected in that they now must
have some
knowledge of computer use and some programming experience. The
days of a
tech writer who wrote out their work freehand and had it typed by
a
secretary are long gone. A modern tech writer also has to keep
abreast
of what's going on in on-line technology. What is hot today will
be
commonplace or even mundane in a year. While a tech writer may
not have
to know how to do everything that comes along, they should be at
least
aware of what is possible.
Teamwork is also more important to a modern tech writer. The
mere task
of keeping up to date in all the various means of putting
together web
documents is a huge task even for a dedicated programmer. It is
impotant
to have people who can write well working with graphics experts
and
programmers and others to really put together the best and most
effective
web documents.

COPING WITH REJECTION - by Patricia Duffy Novak
(duffypa@mail.auburn.edu)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
--------
Rejections are a big part of the life of every short fiction
writer of my
acquaintance. Rejections come in various kinds: the say-nothing
form
rejection, the targeted form rejection, the personalized
say-nothing
macro, and the personal note. Like many other writers, I pay too
much
attention to my rejection letters.
The volume of submissions to some publications makes
"say-nothing" form
rejections essential for editors' survival, particularly at the
magazines
with the highest payment rates and biggest circulations.
Intellectually,
I understand this truth, but I am always disappointed when a
story returns
bearing one of these. I don't allow myself to sulk about this
type of
rejection very long, though. If I did, I'd never get any writing
done.
The personalized say-nothing macros, while no more informative
than the
say-nothing forms, are an indication that the editor is making an
effort
to treat the writer as an individual. At least he (or she) has
taken the
time to type the writer's name into a computer. I am not nearly
as
disappointed by one of these as by the nonpersonalized form.
Personal rejections are the next best thing to a sale. They
usual provide
some indication of why the story didn't work for that editor. If
I
agree that the comments are on target, I can use them to revise
the story
before submitting it to a new market. If I don't agree, at least
I have
gained insight into what this particular editor wants.
Targeted form rejections are used in almost every case by Marion
Zimmer
Bradley. These rejections, while not personal, pin-point a
specific
problem in the story. Her set of rejection letters can be
entertaining,
after one has gotten over the initial disappointment of failing
to sell.
My favorite sentiment from one of these is something to the
effect that
if one wishes to make a political statement, one should hire a
hall and pass
out leaflets -- it's more honest. Another good line from her
fleet of
rejection letters: "Suspending disbelief does not mean hanging it
by the
neck until dead."
Why do stories get rejected? First, this is a buyers' market.
Every editor
gets far more stories than he or she could possibly use, even if
every one
were a jewel. So luck and timing play a pretty big role in
getting
published. Editors try to balance a magazine or anthology, so
that the
stories complement each other. As the writer has no idea what the
editor
has in inventory, this part of marketing short fiction is a
gamble.
Some stories are rejected because they are not very good. My own
first
stories were not very good and some of the ones I'm writing now
are probably
not very good. Obviously, I think they're good or I wouldn't
write them.
Sometimes it takes a bunch of rejections for me to realize that a
particular
story needs revision.
A final reason for rejection is that the magazine is wrong for
that story,
even if the story is well executed. Each short fiction market has
its own
flavor. To save time and postage, it's important to read the
magazines.
It's also important to learn to view rejection dispassionately.
As
painful as those rejection slips can be, rejection is just a way
of life
in the fiction market. The best way to deal with rejection is to
work on
a new story -- and try to make this one even better than the
last.

ASK THE BOOK DOCTOR - by Carol Henson (UBKX12C@Prodigy.com)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
--------
I keep getting the same comment; change from passive voice to
active.
I'm having trouble with this. Can you help? Does it really make
a
difference? - RD
Dear RD,
Don't fret. This happens a lot as a writer works on the CRAFT of
writing. Switching from passive voice to active voice can be a
real
challenge. If it's mastered, however, your writing will become
sharper,
clearer and less wordy. Far more readable. Here are two
examples of
switching from passive to active. Print these out and set them
beside
your manuscript as you self edit. You'll get a feel for it as
you go
along.
PASSIVE: This screenplay was written by Carol Henson.
ACTIVE: Carol Henson wrote this screenplay.
PASSIVE: It was planned that the movie would be produced by that
new
production company in the summer of 1997.
ACTIVE: Action Films planned to produce the movie in the summer
of
1997.
One more thing to remember. There's nothing wrong with a good
passive
sentence. Occasionally. Just don't overdo it. Keep your
writing
tight. Loose the excess baggage. Learn. Hone your craft. And
most of
all, trust yourself.
==-----------------------------------------------------==
Carol Henson is a Book Doctor/editor/author cruising the 'net on
a
regular basis and would be happy to respond to your questions
about
Book Doctors, editing, writing, etc. Her new web page is located

doctor question". Carol will answer selected questions in future

================================================================
ASK THE AGENT - by Susan Graham of Graham Literary Agency
-----------------------------------------------------------------
--------
Question:
--------
I have finished my first draft of a nonfiction, age 8+, book
about war
dogs... an undone, very hot subject, so I know it has
possibilities. Adult
books are presently appearing on the market.
Along the way I sent out a few query letters, getting refusals
from several,
and "will looks" from three. An agent at a Writer's Conference
told me I
have a big problem because of the query letters.
I've decided I do want to go with an agent... eventually, because
of
contract negotiations. My question is, how do I proceed? Should
I contact
the interested publishers, tell them my progress; see if they
want to see
something yet, or wait until I'm all finished revising, glossary,
etc.?
-
S.C.
Dear S.C.,
A query letter is most appropriate for fiction. Your book is
nonfiction. It would be better to write a formal proposal, and
submit
that to the publishers that are interested, as quickly as
possible. A
book I highly recommend is "How To Write A Book Proposal" by
Michael
Larsen, Writers Digest Books, 1985.
However, don't overlook the agents entirely. Send a query letter
to
appropriate agents (look in various sourcebooks to see what types
of
things they represent), and in it tell them you have a book
proposal
to send them if they're interested, and that you are also
marketing
the book to publishers. Why wait for an agent to get around to
looking at a query letter when you've already gotten the
attention of
the publishers?
If you get an offer from a publisher before you've gotten an
agent,
simply say, "That's great! My agent will get back to you in a
couple
of days. Now, let me get a piece of paper and write down the
specifics
of your offer." (Don't forget to write down the editor and
publisher's names, either!) Then dance around for joy for a
while,
and call (yes pick up that telephone and call!) your top choice
for an
agent and tell them you have an actual offer from a publisher and
need
an agent immediately. Quiz the agent about their normal working
arrangements, and make sure you're happy with them before you
sign up.
Then leave the rest to the agent!
Good luck!

WORKSHOP: 10 RULES FOR GOOD WRITING - by D. Roberts
-----------------------------------------------------------------
--------
Good writing depends on a solid understanding of grammatical
terms and
rules for composition. The 10 simple rules below can help make
your
writing stand out.
1. Prefer the simple description to the elegant:
* --She was chubby with small and pale hands.
--She was fusby with diminutive and colorless hands.
* Keep it simple and to the point.
2. Prefer the familiar word to the exotic:
* --He held the wine flask carelessly.
--He held the ampula carelessly.
* Though wine flask is the same as the arcane ampula most
readers will not be used to this term. What about "fusby"
under rule #1?
3. Prefer ordinary writing style to the romantic style:
* --His kissed was tender.
--His lips gently bushed her pouting mouth.
* Unless you are writing a romance keep your descriptions
short.
4. Prefer nouns and verbs to adjectives and adverbs:
* --As she hangs the picture over the desk she feels tender
thoughts of Walter.
--Hanging the picturesque painting high above the red
lacquered desk, she held heart-swelling and passionate
thought of Walter.
* Use clear statements.
5. Use picture nouns and actions verbs:
* --In Portland it is to be expected that August will be hot,
but under the blue and white striped table umbrellas shading
Jonathan Adams, the heat became all but intolerable.
--It was a hot summer day but under the umbrella Jonathan
Adams could deal with the heat.
* In some genre's descriptive sentences are preferred.
6. Never use a long word when a short one will do as well:
--"It was serendipitous to me, Watson."
* --"It was news to me, Watson."
* Again it's better to write simply than to simply write.
7. Master the simple metaphor:
* --She was built flat as Kansas.
* --He was tough as a year in jail.
* --The finish was smooth as driftwood.
* Descriptions do not have to be boring.
8. Prefer the simple sentence to the complicated:
* --The existing world's food production can be increased with
the use of common chemicals.
--The way to increase the world's production of food from
existing acreage is through the application of relatively
inexpensive chemicals that can be mass-produced in
factories.
* While both examples say the same thing one is easier to
"read" than the other.
9. Vary your sentence length.
--The President called in his advisor. They talked about
the foreign options. The options were bleak and risky.
* --The President called in his advisor to discuss the options
they had to resolve the foreign crisis. The options were
risky.
* Good writing varies the sentence length.
10. Use the active voice.
* --Congress set the budgetary limits and the Union fought the
new contract.
--Budgetary limits were set by congress and the new contract
was fought.
* Active voice animates the story. A verb with a direct
object is in the active voice.

WRITERS' POLL: Subscriber suggestions for additional market
sources
=============
In response to my posting the reader results from the last poll
about
market resources, Peter Warwick (pwarwick@freenet.npiec.on.ca)
wrote
to suggest a few more useful sources for market information: the
trade
magazines Advertising Age, Folio, and Masthead (The Magazine
About
Magazines). Since he subscribes to Masthead, Peter was able to
supply
Inklings with contact and subscription info: Masthead, 8-1696
Sedlescomb
Drive, Mississauga, ON, Canada, L4X 1M6. Subscription rates in
Canada
are $39.95/yr ($59.95/2 yrs), Foreign rates: $59.00/yr ($88/2
yrs).
Peter also adds: "These are all trade journals. Masthead is
Canadian
and the other two are American. Masthead and Folio are both
geared to
the magazine industry. Advertising Age is geared to advertisers.
Marketing and, I forget its competition as I'm not aware of what
libraries get it, are Canadian trade journals geared to the
magazine
industry. Sometime in March or April Marketing publishes a
section on
the Canadian magazine industry.
Another source is C.A.R.D. (Canadian Advertising Rates & Data) is
geared strictly to advertisers and is a good source for checking
on
markets. Most main libraries get it. Ours does in St.Catharines."
Many thanks to Peter for the information above.
Writer's Poll #4 is still running. The question is: What are your
