Writing Book: A Practical Guide for Fiction Writers by Kate Grenville
informative
medium-paced
2.0
While I like that this book tackled some of the bad/weird advice writers get given when starting to write, and mentioned some voices are often ones we have to unlearn, I think that most of the advice given in this book can be found in better books.
There are a lot of exercises for people who don't know how to begin, but as someone who has no problem forming organic ideas and allowing characters to grow, I didn't find them helpful.
There are examples for each point and chapter too, but when they're talking about intriguing story introductions that draw in you audience and every example would make me drop the book, it's not for me.
