The craft of writingNew book purchases, a collection of short stories and then three publications useful to those who love writing. I start with Striges by Nicola Lombardi. I met the author by reading The Gypsy Spiders, which I really liked, so for some time I had decided to read other works by Lombardi. I then read in some blogs about the book The Craft of Writing by Raymond Carver, one of those books on writing that you absolutely must read. Carver also wrote the introduction to John Gardner's beautiful The Writer's Craft . On Romina Tamerici's blog I read about Grammatica della fantasia by Gianni Rodari, an author I have known and appreciated since I was a child.
How could I not buy this jewel too? It will be my next read. Some time ago I talked about the encyclopedia of Italian legendary creatures, a book that Riccardo Coltri Special Data recommended to me. In the bibliography of that volume I found another interesting publication. This is the Guide to Italy mysterious fantastic unusual legendary Vol. 1 (Piedmont, Valle D'Aosta, Liguria, Lombardy, Veneto, Trentino Alto Adige, Tuscany, Emilia Romagna) and vol. 2 (Marche, Umbria, Lazio, Abruzzi and Molise, Campania, Basilicata, Puglia, Calabria, Sicily, Sardinia). I got the two volumes used, since they date back to 1966, but in good condition and at a good price. They are richly illustrated and bound in leather.
Now I'm trying to find two other interesting volumes, but I will perhaps talk about them in the next column, if I manage to buy themThe paragraphs A text for the web must be presented divided into several paragraphs . A paragraph, let's repeat the concept, is a container of text, which includes one or more sentences. For better reading, the text must be divided into short paragraphs , of two, maximum three periods, also depending on the length of these periods. Each paragraph must be made up of short sentences and simple words . Even if it is not always possible to satisfy these ideal conditions, it is possible to get closer to them. In this case, rereading the text, before its publication, helps to understand whether a sentence can be left as it was written or whether it can be "pruned", whether a word can be replaced by a simpler one or not. Text formatting Formatting text for the web makes the text more effective, not just more readable. It's about adopting some measures that will make your texts take on a more professional appearance, even if they are not pages written for work purposes.
