Consider This: Moments in My Writing Life After Which Everything Was Different by Chuck Palahniuk
5.0
I loved the insight on writing dos and don'ts, but I think I loved his personal stories best. (And some of them were jaw dropping.)
I've read other books on writing and loved them all. The first one was THE FOREST FOR THE TREES by Betsy Lerner. Next came BIRD BY BIRD by Anne Lamott. The last one was ON WRITING, by Stephen King. Much like Palahniuk's book, King shared personal stories too. (Mouthwash? Okay, that definitely explains why some of his stuff started getting a little too weird)
Palahniuk delivers the goods about writing fiction with humor and kindness. I started to add a third adjective in there, but one of the things I learned? Don't always go with threes.
The book was well organized. I liked the short, punchy narrative and chapters. I bet even someone who doesn't write would be entertained.
Highly recommend for the writer looking for a different approach on honing their craft.
