No one else discussed the book?
What is it to live in a genderless society? Or a society of fluidity? Leguin is good about writing those types of worlds.
i've been ok. am having quite a lot of changes irl at the moment. 😆
Life can really distract from reading time sometimes! 😂
>>> What is it to live in a genderless society...
Indeed - I just finished The Left Hand of Darkness
I’ve read everything by Leguin. The Earth Sea Quartet is also amazing.
We have a friend who worked with her on the West Coast of America. It’s really fascinating to hear stories about her process and who she was.
The Wizard of Earthsea I read a long time ago
I'm not such a fan of reading series of books though, but I do love her writing style. Her use of grammar and punctuation are excellent. I also have her book about how to write - Steering the Craft - which is excellent
The Lathe of Heaven I think is particularly good, my favourite of hers so far
Indeed. I’m in a writing group right now
Those are prompts from Steering the Craft that we’re working on
I’m not a dummy southerner lol 🙂
No one said I was but I wrote that just in case someone might think what I wrote is too much surface level. When I finished my English degree I had professors who told me I was not thoughtful in analysis. And my partner also thinks I’m a weak writer and don’t think deeply
Maybe you need to stop worrying about what other people think and concentrate on writing from the heart - too much thought and analysis can take away from that I my opinion.
I do love the exercises in Steering the Craft! I worked my way through a lot of them. I particularly like the ones on points of view and voice.
Ha the heart is difficult when you’re around academics
Well it's my opinion anyway. Writing is all about creativity, and creativity comes from the heart, not the head. Of course we need to learn the tools to channel that creativity.
Hopefully this is an easier read aha
Hey fellow needers of words
>>> On a new book!
We read that one here one month, a couple of years ago now
