THE WIKI OF SUZANNE KETCHUM ADAMS

The written word and stories of every kind are my passion. Here are some books I have enjoyed in the last few years:

FICTION

  • Waiting by Ha Jin [[1]]
  • Gilead by Marilynn Robinson [[2]]
  • The Known World by Edward P. Jones [[3]]
  • Anil's Ghost by Michael Ondaatje [[4]]
  • Paradise Park by Allegra Goodman [[5]]
  • On Beauty by Zadie Smith
  • Little Children by Tom Perrotta
  • The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova


I also enjoy creative writing. I have found these books very helpful:

BOOKS ON WRITING

  • Writing Down the Bones:Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg Try out her methods
  • On Writing:A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King
  • What If? Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers by Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter
  • The Artist's Way:A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron [[6]]
  • Writing Alone and With Others by Pat Schneider [[7]]

Here's a visual writing prompt

When you see it, just try writing whatever is in your head for three minutes and see what you come up with.
