OMG,
the pressure!! Well, for now, Stephen King has some essays in a
collection on writing and teaching writing. He and Anne Rice have some
YouTube videos where they address writers. If I find the exact links again,
I'll email them, but you can search for these on Google or YouTube, and for
King's book on Amazon.
Elizabeth
George, great mystery writer, has a book on writing. I'm bad at
remembering titles, but good at content. Look her up on Amazon or on her
page.
I
just gave my class this advice; read in the areas where you want to
write. Mystery writers read mystery writers, poets read poets, etc.
Essays
on books and writing by Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf are great,
and I think Shakespeare for plot, structure and dialog. Take a favorite
Shakespeare scene and rewrite it in your favorite genre or discourse.
That's my brainstorm for the day!
