Thank you.
GREAT IMAGE.
Oh, no! That is so sad. I love her books.
Becoming a Writer by Dorothea Brande is a book every propective author should read.
And maybe this is the time to mention -- it's not a book exactly -- but I've recently started a new blog on the subject of writing. I'm doing it rather tentativel...
I definately agree with you Gary. I am a new writer and some books I found beyond me to begin with and now they make more sense and I get more out of them by reading them now. It was Sol Stein's 'Stein on Writing' that pulled everything together f...
I'm jusr re-reading 'Zen in the Art of Writing' by Ray Bradbury. He says he used word association a lot to come up with ideas. I must try it!
HI there, pleased to meet you.
I hope it goes well. I'm in the UK, alas, but I'm sure you'll have lots of people there for you.

Then I noticed the chapter order:
12, 13, 22, 23, 24, 14..... to 21
That's the problem with Ebooks, you can't check before buying and downloading.
Thought you should know,

Maundy said… - Well I have been reading the Hobbit to Will and I recently got around to reading the Lord of the Rings
( the set you gave e about 5 years ago) Will is into the Hobbit in a big way.
Will wants to get into Warhammer he has joined a club at school cos some of his mates are playing. So I guess I will have to learn how to play and buy him some figures. Maybe a Christmas wish list for him. I guess its like D&D but wwith figures? ive no idea to be honest.
I still struggle to read really and write as you can prob tell!!! But I have been getting into slightly broader genre than the past ( ie not just WW2 and SAS books, ) Ive recently read some Napolionic stories and a couple of Roman ones.
So who knows what I will be into next.?

Nick said… - Ah, you read it in the original French, Kari - I'm envious! I think I'll go with the Penguin edition then when I do buy it. I did read someone recommending the Robin Buss translation, which is the Penguin Classics one.
Funnily enough I was in New York earlier this year to cover a game release and the script had been written by Lorenzo Carcaterra, an American writer who had written the intro to an American edition of the novel. I was going to ask him about it when I got to interview him but unluckily he got very sick and that part of the press event was cancelled. I was intending to buy that edition before I interviewed him and get him to sign it (Dumas not being available!) but somehow didn't buy it. And then his interview slot with people was cancelled anyway. I think destiny is deciding the optimum time for me to be acquainted with The Count of Monte Cristo!
Glad you like my posts. I do go on a bit, I know. But that is not necessarily a disadvantage to a writer!

- Thanks for the friend request, Kari. As a matter of interest, which version of 'Cristo would you recommend? There are several! Some are abridged, some say they are not but are - like the Wordsworth Classics one which is otherwise dirt cheap but which apparently still keeps out parts of the complete text that were excised at a more prudish age, hinting at a more than close relationship between two of the women characters. I have my eye on the Penguin one, the Oxford Classics one and the Wordsworth one. Which one do you recommend?!

- Nice to meet you, too, Karri - I've seen your comments on LJ so no doubt we have many mutual friends.
Must read some of this Dumas-style fantasy of yours!

Jeffery E Doherty said… - Fantasy with a Dumas twist. Sounds interesting.
If The League of Reluctant Adults made you giggle, I have an Americam friend who pronounces Dumas as (Dum-ass) - always makes me laugh. The actual quote from him was "Dum-ass, what an unfortunate name."
Cheers
Jeff
