Episode description

I think Ursula Le Guin. If you want to read a writer who knew her craft (RIP), you should read some Ursula Le Guin. Of all the writers I have ever read, I think she is in the top 10 (seriously). So, when she says something about writing, I think that people should perk up their ears and listen. Le Guin talks about this idea that when you start writing, you should start with how the language sounds. What does the language sound like? Enjoy the pleasure you get from the words and sounds themselves. Today, on How to Write Good, I am going to be talking about Urusula Le Guin's advice and whether this advice is good or bad (Or just lukewarm).
