Writing Itself

Arts


This week, my guest is myself! Really, it’s part of my collection of books on writing. I have put these volumes in some semblance of an order of importance in my life. I hope you enjoy this non-chat, and I hope you find some inspiration here. The humorist Steve Allen once claimed to always be reading some sort of self-help book before going to sleep. (He also claims to have been a 12-hour a night sleeper, which is remarkable for such a prolific man!) I am not so inclined, but he sparked something in me. There is no shame in always trying to improve, and reading about your craft is one way to do that. Sometimes the best advice on writing comes from reading the works of the writers you love; sometimes it comes in lesson form.
