Well. I am so not writing, and boy, does that suck. But I'll spare you my whining; instead, I will post bits from this neat book I have, "Making Shapely Fiction", by Jerome Stern. I read it for school last year, and the format is unusual: after a few chapters that describe types of stories, there is a list, from ACCURACY to ZIGZAG, listed alphabetically. They are mostly pretty short (easy to type up); they deal with various aspects of writing; and I figure since I'm not writing, I ought to try to do something useful. Maybe this might be useful, hm?

The following is an excerpt from Part III of the book Making Shapely Fiction, by Jerome Stern. The first two parts are very much worth reading as well. The book is available in paperback.
