It really inspired me to read King for the first time (his fiction).Tia Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336780518125138789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-53709050726345863422012-03-24T15:46:44.770-04:002012-03-24T15:46:44.770-04:00I loved On Writing.

Similar messaging and worth the read. The books I like to read to improve my own writing, however, are the annual BASS books and their sister books: Best American Short Stories, Best American Poetry, Best American Travel Writing, Best American Essays, etc. I love those. I don't get them every year, and I don't buy them all, just the ones I'm interested in at the time. But I like to study those, looking for clues to my improvement.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505661913107994459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-70615088243774916352012-01-06T09:22:19.471-05:002012-01-06T09:22:19.471-05:00Thanks so much, Eloise!Thanks so much, Eloise!Tia Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336780518125138789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-87545548650631256462012-01-06T07:08:37.894-05:002012-01-06T07:08:37.894-05:00Sounds like he gets to the point.
