Words were spoken long before they were written. Some words - known as onomatopoeias - even captured natural sounds: bottle, gurgle, jingle, bubble, or flip-flop. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGood writing reflects these rhythms of speech. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGood writing is akin to music. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn poetry, we come closest to these musical roots of writing. No wonder all songs have poems as their lyrics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOther writing techniques which draw on sound include alliteration, anadiplosis, assonance, consonance, parachesis, tautogram, and tongue twisters. Look them up in the glossary at the end of this booklet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo, the first thing to do when you had written something is to read it aloud to yourself: does the music of the words sound right?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lidija Rangelovska,Sam Vaknin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798269008912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Lidija Rangelovska","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965987930367,"sku":"9798269008912","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_00ec3f44-8ac4-412c-a7dd-866c1554d6db.jpg?v=1767286161","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/words-lidija-rangelovska-9798269008912","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
