I struggled with the words a bit. I did not find Kipling or Twain or any of the other writers' works to be "gorgeous" and easy to get through. I was tripping over my own tongue reading them. But that is, perhaps, more a me thing than the actual work by these much-celebrated authors.
I like the exercise suggestions and can't wait to incorporate them into the Workshop!

That was rough! I can't tell if she was intentionally messing with the sentences & their structure, or if it was a lack of editing. There are some glaring mistakes, but it breaks my mind to think that Le Guin could make such mistakes & that this guidebook has seen so many reprints without them being caught and fixed.
I had started off thinking I'd want a copy of this book for my shelves, but the more I read it...nah!
