She refers to the one-inch picture frame on her desk and how it reminds her to focus on bite-sized pieces of the whole story. If you focus on one small thing at a time, the story will eventually come together to create a whole. The same applies to learning how to write. If writers focus on one aspect of the craft at a time, the process will seem less daunting, and piece by piece, it will come together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot only is \u003cem\u003eWriting in a Nutshell: Writing Workshops to Improve Your Craft\u003c\/em\u003e an excellent addition to any creative writing course, but it's also a great primary learning tool for aspiring writers, and a great booster for more experienced writers to use to hone their craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNOTE: This book is also broken down into three separate workbooks (available to purchase separately) should writers not need practice in all areas: \u003cem\u003eShow \u0026amp; Tell in a Nutshell: Demonstrated Transitions from Telling to Showing\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eAdverbs \u0026amp; Clich s in a Nutshell: Demonstrated Subversions of Adverbs \u0026amp; Clich s into Gourmet Imagery\u003c\/em\u003e; and \u003cem\u003eThe Six Senses in a Nutshell: Demonstrated Transitions from Bleak to Bold Narrative\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Bell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1925417867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781925417869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vine Leaves Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.48h x 4.72w x 0.46d","brand":"Jessica Bell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983793684735,"sku":"9781925417869","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_84e2212e-8ccc-417e-a46d-341798bfa0de.jpg?v=1683268756","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-in-a-nutshell-jessica-bell-9781925417869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
