Creative Writing: A Practical Guide - Julia Casterton

Didn't finish it actually. I found it very interesting and quite helpful but it had a strange effect on me; it made me feel intensely restless, like even though I was enjoying it I had to put it down this instant and go and do something. That's good because that's why I got it: to light a creative fire and get me to write something. I finally feel ready to sit down and face the task of editing. My nemesis. I will edit the meagre handful of stories I have written and maybe something will change. Maybe it will get easier!

On Writing - Stephen King

Second time I've read it. It's lit a creative fire in my brain. Finished a first draft of a story a few days ago, just had a new idea today. I believe King will one day be recognised as the greatest writer of his generation, and will be studied on literature courses.
