I don't read King because I don't like horror, but I did appreciated how he defended genre and took offense to not getting questions they ask of literary writers when he does talks -- about word choice and imagery. Like genre writers don't also struggle over turns of phrases.<br /><br />And because I read regularly but comment randomly, I'm glad you liked Barry Hughart. I like that series so much I'm always amazed at how few people seem to know about it.ClothDragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542830590515695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-78022284945229550832012-03-30T12:05:49.842-04:002012-03-30T12:05:49.842-04:00Take Ten would be my choice.

One of the chapters, a page for each day of the year, suggests that writers, no matter the genre, create a mission statement based on why I write and what do I want to get out of it. Something that I'm still thinking about.Anne Velosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647230834696876870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-63107108262611979772012-03-30T00:20:48.806-04:002012-03-30T00:20:48.806-04:00Take Ten for Writers sounds interesting... if I do...Take Ten for Writers sounds interesting... if I don't win, I think I'll have to order one for myself.<br /><br />Writing books I'm finding useful at the moment: Page After Page and Chapter After Chapter by Heather Sellers.
