Reddit mentions of Invisible Ink: A Practical Guide to Building Stories that Resonate

I think Brian MacDonald's books on writing are great, Especially Invisible Ink

https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Ink-Practical-Building-Resonate/dp/0998534471

They are easy reads and help you understand what drives great stories.

Nope - he's referencing this book.

Here’s some great books I’m reading/have read recently that I recommend:

The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure

Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst

Columbine

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century

And here’s my favorite book about writing ever:

Invisible Ink: A Practical Guide to Building Stories That Resonate

In story writing, "show" is more important that "tell".

What did the museum house that was inappropriate by the ruling government? This might be covered later in the story, so not super important to cover now, but an opportunity to explain setting more.

Average citizen had become even poorer compared to what? More importantly, what does a poor average citizen walking in front of the MoA&L look like? Show poor(er) rather than explain they are poorer will help the reader see the scenario better.

Those are just some examples that I as a reader would find more interesting than being told that "this is the scenario".

​

If you would like to read more on the topic of "show rather than tell", give the book Invisible Ink: A Practical Guide to Building Stories that Resonate a read.

Dear Mr./Mrs./Miss Jizzmonger69,

Despite your blatant reduction of proper words and characters, I offer my 2 cents:

• Invisible Ink by Brian McDonald
  
• Story Genius by Lisa Cron
  
  p.s. I do not attempt to insult, but rather to assist you in fortifying your forward momentum toward knowledge. In other words, you will find that despite your willingness to learn, if you do not put in the effort of basic spelling, punctuation, sentence craft –– that many people will not take you seriously.
  
  Bon chance, mon ami.
