Average Rating:
 Rating:  - RestorationThrough these essays Bradbury restores an often distorted concept of writing and its role of personal, artistic expression. With vivid imagery as set forth in his essay on "feeding the Muse" and passion surging through his perspectives on the writing process - all writers (aspiring and pro alike) will find Bradbury's views to be a refreshing spray of acid on conventionalism. In other words - Bradbury's Zen is a perfect box cutting tool for thinking outside cardboard boundaries. Rating: - Great Quality!This book was instrumental in my success in my creative writing class.

He tells us stories about how he came to write some of his more famous short stories and novels - e.g. how he was driven to tears, writing his first great short story "The Lake". The book is probably most valuable for accomplished ... Read More Rating: - A Ray of Sunlight; Tapping Spirit InsideThis book is the real deal, Bradbury nails it. Call it parapfrasing what we all once knew, or tap into from time to time - but from Rainman it's a recipe, an axion, a reliable methodology! Never (almost never) have I felt connected, validated and understood at every page. Writing, like most of life and learning, is by nature. As we grow older and more analytical, and as we grow more attached to the physical world we move farther from the original spirit of our passions, as we learn, we forget. Bradnury makes ...
