Today I want to talk about my experience with J R Ritchie. I recently got my hands on some of his works and, man, was it a journey!
First off, I started digging into his background a bit. Turns out, this guy, J.R. Brent Ritchie, he’s got a bunch of books out there. I found out that he has like 11 books on Goodreads, and people have rated them over a thousand times. That’s a lot of reading!
- I picked up his most famous one, “Tourism: Principles, Practices,” to start with. I mean, it’s his most popular, so it seemed like a good place to begin.
Then I stumbled upon this discussion online. People were talking about how his stuff fits into the “literary canon.” So, I got this idea that I should mix it up a bit, you know? Read some of his serious stuff but also throw in some fun reads. Balance is key, right?
Next, I got curious about rhetoric. Someone mentioned “Farnsworth’s Classical English Rhetoric,” and it got me thinking. I realized there are tons of books out there about writing styles and techniques. I even found this cool book on sentence styling, inspired by Dwight Swain. It sounded super helpful.
I’m always looking to improve my own writing, whether it’s for a blog post or something bigger. So, I started looking for the best books on writing. I checked out lists from popular blogs and publications, trying to find the real gems. There are books on everything – story structure, plot, characters, dialogue, you name it. You would be surprised to see how much content there is about this subject.
Personally, I made a list of the 12 best books on writing that I’ve come across. It felt good to narrow it down, especially since I consider myself a pretty experienced writer. Seriously, there are so many good books out there, it’s almost overwhelming. I’ve read many myself, and let me tell you that some of them are really game changers. It is like having a mentor at your disposal.
I found this one book, “The Art of Dramatic Writing” by Lajos Egri, which was recommended by a playwright named Tanya Ritchie. It talks about the idea of “premise” in writing, which I found really interesting. To think about the basics of what makes writing good, the essence of it. It is not the first time that I read about it, but this time it got me thinking. I think it’s important to revisit this kind of information once in a while to keep yourself updated.
Getting Things Done
Finally, I decided to take all these recommendations and use them to boost my own writing. It doesn’t matter where you are in your writing journey; there’s always room for improvement. I was inspired and motivated to try new things and get better at what I do.
So, that’s my story about diving into J R Ritchie’s world and exploring the vast universe of writing books. It was a wild ride, but I learned a ton along the way!
