Zen In The Art Of Writing (Paperback)
Refreshingly direct, each essay shares a single compelling theme: writing is a celebration, not a chore. Unlike so many books on writing, this one does not belabor the technical or become obsessed with the how-to aspects of the craft.
What Bradbury does bring to every discussion of writing is the fever, the ardor, the delight that he has discovered and which can be yours. "Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a land mine.
The land mine is me. After the explosion, I spend the rest of the day putting the pieces back together.
Now, it's your turn. Jump " Zest.
Gusto. Curiosity.
These are the qualities every writer must have, as well as a spirit of adventure. In this exuberant book, the incomparable Ray Bradbury shares the wisdom, experience, and excitement of a lifetime of writing.
Here are practical tips on the art of writing from a master of the craft-everything from finding original ideas to developing your own voice and style-as well as the inside story of Bradbury's own remarkable career as a prolific author of novels, stories, poems, films, and plays. "Zen In The Art Of Writing" is more than just a how-to manual for the would-be writer: it is a celebration of the act of writing itself that will delight, impassion, and inspire the writer in you.
In it, Bradbury encourages us to follow the unique path of our instincts and enthusiasms to the place where our inner genius dwells, and he shows that success as a writer depends on how well you know one subject: your own life. top Book Reviews of Zen In The Art Of Writing Write a Review Read All Reviews (6) Weread Reviews of Zen In The Art Of Writing Interesting essays about writing.
