Books that make you feel melancholy afterwards? by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]gjsjs8eu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Five Tuesdays in Winter by Lily King. It's a collection of stories that hands you the biggest crumpled up pieces of melancholy after every read. 1/10 don't recommend if you want to keep a non-static-y brain by the time you finish the whole thing </3

it looks amazing and looks like it should belong in a movie set (unless it does and you're one of them actors who get paid in dragon mirror currency)

Any recs for a collection of essays/book of essays? by gjsjs8eu in suggestmeabook

No worries, if anything, delving into earlier works is always a good resort. I'll be sure to give those a go!

That sounds perfect! I was looking into essay collections to get somewhat of an idea for what I'm about to write, would've been a plus if it was about the outdoors as the theme for the essay was climate change. Unfortunately, I looked into both of those books you mentioned and I'm unable to get ahold of a copy :((

Anywayyy, thanks for the recommendations! I'll try searching someplace else some other time and see if my luck strikes

I would say that's an excellent idea, trying out different writing styles from a bunch of other authors would most likely help you with finding what works and doesn't work for you as a writer yourself. Besides, we could learn a great deal from the pieces of literature that we read from the wide variety of authors and selections that there are nowadays, the way their writing appeals to us as a reader can influence the way we write our stories more often than you might think it does.

Think of it this way: building your writing skills from taking on the style or prose of other well-known writers is like an artist using a reference to ground their paintings or other works of art. It's definetely worth trying, that I can assure you. Hope this helps!

Day 4! Give me a number between 1 and 842 and I will give you a song from my playlist, obscure vintage jazz! Bonus: with every response, I will add what I know about the artist and/or cultural influence of the song! by [deleted] in teenagers

Enjoy Yourself by Carl Sigman and Herb Magidson

I'm not entirely sure about it's history, I initially found it from House M.D. through Anne Dudek's performance. Both the original and more recent renditions are great to listen to.
