Robert’s Rules of Writing. 101 Unconventional Lessons. Robert Masello

Robert’s Rules of Writing. 101 Unconventional Lessons. Robert Masello. ISBN 1582973261. His most recent on writing. I had reviewed his Writer Tells All. Enjoyable read in that it is short, well organized and eminently useful. His titles are amusing, e.g. Burn your Journal, Skip the Starbucks , Buy the Smoking Jacket and so on. Lesson learned is that prolific and dedicated writers do not “talk” about their work much while it is underway. It seems to interfere with the process and can ultimately prevent completion.  I also enjoyed his tips on taking a book apart (one that you enjoyed) to study how the writer captured and kept your interest through various tips. If you love words and what they can do, this is a very rewarding book to read
