There is so much in this fairly small book! Once you get through the whole thing, you've forgotten most of what was in the beginning. Whenever I get stuck or just need some inspiration, I open it up to any random page and it isn't long until I can begin writing. While you may not use it's prompts or exercises exactly as they describe, ...             Elements of Writing Fiction - Description (Elements of Fiction Writing)26 reviews Monica Wood Writers Digest Books, 1999 Very Effective As a writer, I've always considered description to be my strong suit, so I read other books in this series before I picked up this one.

It's been quite successful and fun!             Secret Language (Ballantine Reader's Circle)3 reviews Monica Wood Ballantine Books, 2002 Family Bonds This was the first novel by Monica Wood, one of my new favorite writers! I first read "My Only Story" and then managed to find "The Secret Language". In between I read her newest book, "Ernie's Ark". I loved all three books even though they were quite different. All are about families and how they shape us. Part of this theme is that families may be those whom we assemble around us rather than ...             Any Bitter Thing34 reviews Monica Wood, 2005 Well Done, Suspenseful, Moving, Well Written, Not What I Expected I found Monica Wood's novel Any Bitter Thing to be a very emotional story. I think she's a wonderful writer and has created very realistic characters with very realistic relationships and emotions. I don't want to say too much about the story because I think the less you know the better this story is. I'm glad that I hadn't read some of the reviews posted here before I read the book. I ...             Ernie's Ark : stories6 reviews Monica Wood Chronicle Books, 2002 Another Winner for Monica Wood! I *discovered* this writer when I read "My Only Story" which I absolutely loved. I then followed up with "The Secret Language", an entirely different but equally rewarding read. So when I heard about "Ernie's Ark" there was no doubt that I would read it! And it was a joy. I always enjoy reading books of connected stories and this was one of the best.
