The Word Cloud

The best book I found was 'How NOT to write a novel' by Sandra Newman and Howard Mittelmark. At the end of the book, they write;
'You should now have progressed from being merely an unpublished novelist to being a novelist who is completely invulnerable to publication...However, if you have perversely refused to use the lessonsoffered in this book as we intended, and instead avoided each of the mistakes we describe, perhaps you now find yourself a published author.'
It's a really funny book with examples of bad writing and how to avoid them - turns the 'how to write' thing completely on its head.

On Writing by Stephen King - pure gold.

Errm. I chose to write get thing off chest, but then strange happened I got these wonderful ideas for poetry; flasth fiction and short stories. Personal I think if you have talent there and you luck enough to realise it or someone see in you. Then in tequine and style you have tweak.
