Writers Writing About Writing

The thing about writing books are that they're written well.  :)

Not a surprise there but I think it's funny nonetheless.

I'm now reading The Elements of Story by Francis Flaherty, an editor at The New York Times.

Not a hundred percent relevant to my work but great tips on story telling.

  1. My husband read a book titled something like, "How To Write a Novel", which tickled me a little. :)

  2. I think it's so important to be reading books like that. Writers have to take the time to educate themselves. I' so excited that you are doing this.

  4. I can't help but recommend "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott. It's got some great inspiration about the writing process.
