Hello Readers,
A writer friend of mine here in Australia recently moved back to the USA. Having lived here for some years he had years of possessions to get rid of before the move. Amongst these possessions was a stash of books. So naturally, when he put the call out for anyone interested in buying any of them at a discount, I put my hand up. Now I was only expecting to come away with a few books of interest, but wow, what a collection. I came away with 12 books on the craft of writing (and I even left a handful of others as I am limited on shelf space at home). Thankfully someone got in and bought his whole collection of fantasy/sci-fi novels before I got there, or I would have been in a real fix.
So, what did I get? Here is the list:
Fondling Your Muse
How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy
Scene and Structure
Characters and Viewpoint
Worlds of Wonder
Creating Characters: How to Build Story People
Writing Fantasy and Science Fiction
Make a Scene
Eyes Like Butterflies
The Forest for the Trees
The Complete Guide to Writing Fantasy
The Writers Complete Fantasy Reference
What a haul!
I have started reading a reviewing these books already, it will take me a while to get through them, but I plan to get to them all in coming months. If you’ve read any of them and care to comment, please do so below, it may sway my reading order.
Happy Reading.
I think you should start with ‘Make A Scene’ just because that’s such a fabulous pun.
Thanks RThomas, I might just do that. It is a great title 🙂
