Okay, as long as we're still on the topic, I just finished "On Writing" by
Stephen King and highly recommend it. I've read many a book on this subject
and this was by far the easiest and most enjoyable. Even if you are not of
fan of his fiction (I admit I am), I believe anyone even remotely interested
in writing will get a great kick out this one.
The first half is largely autobiographical and very entertaining (I actually
laughed out loud a couple times). He tells of his life from early childhood
up to the point when "Carrie" was published. The second half is everything
he considers important to successfully writing fiction. He makes it very
accessible yet very realistic. I brought away a ton of insight from it. If
you guys get a chance give it a look.
