Writing Rubic For the Beta Essay - A Review

Writing Rubic For the Beta Essay - A ReviewRubic for the Beta Essay was a very interesting book I've been reading recently. It seems that there is a new word each week, which makes an old saying 'true to life' in some way. In this book, Jim Irvine teaches you how to re-purpose words you may have used in the past and apply them to a new situation to make them work for you.One of the topics in Rubic for the Beta Essay is the use of pronouns in conversation. The main character is such a perplexed person because all his friends are always so sure of who he is talking to that he is unable to determine where his place is in the flow of the conversation.This type of problem can be an indication of writer's block, but Irvine warns you to be careful because it's not just something that just happens to the weak and busy writer. It's more likely to occur if you have problems with your ability to verbalize thoughts and ideas effectively.All the ideas that are presented in this book apply to all writers, no matter what level they are at, or where their individual's ability lies. All writers need to master the art of using a single word in a sentence and applying it to an occasion, place, person, circumstance, etc.Irvine's solution is simple: 'How would you feel if you could solve all the problems that you would otherwise be stuck on, but there were no words to put them in?' He asks this question about many authors, who are told that they are writing on spec, but they are not. If they didn't want the publisher to know their idea, they wouldn't be writing it, right?Irvine brings this concept to a writing situation by talking about one of his examples, where the author chose a normal word to define an abnormal situation. When the writer used the same word he describes the two situations as the same.He then says that he used the same word in the sentence, which was one of the reasons he was stuck on his writer's concept. Then he uses another example to show how to correctly re- use a word to describe a new place. Here is where his book shines the brightest: he creates a completely new scene and then re-creates it with a noun he learned from another chapter in the book, and shows you how you can do the same thing with a new person and a new situation.He gives you more than three hundred 'writing rubics' to help you create and manage verbs in every possible way: presenting an image in a creative and unique way, using a negative, and more. From my experience reading his book, I was able to turn an old, tired concept into a fresh and exciting new outlook, and I will be using all the words he teaches me to create my own novel!
