I took a Creative Writing class once. It was awful. The syllabus was go fuck yourselves. Followed by the professor’s explanation that you either have the gift or you do not. I learned nothing and it put me in debt.
Stephen King’s On Writing has some of the best advice, (as well as crazy drug stories like being so high on cocaine- he doesn’t remember writing Cujo) as well as fascinating short stories of his childhood, growing up in New England.
It’s one of those books you hear about but never get around to. If you haven’t; it’s time you did. Great summer read.
