Get thee to Poetry Workshop! Truly...if you have not asked Nan for entry, please do. Talk about strengthening your skills, that would be the place to do it!

I'd like to see this up and running again. I've been writing mostly prose lately and would appreciate some feedback.

Has anyone read "On Writing" by Stephen King?

I have. Loved it - half auto-biography, half tips. I liked his tone a lot... pointing out that "this" is what worked well for him, but who knows, might not work for other people. The unabashed seeming honesty really kept me hooked.

I got it at the library and liked it so much I went out and bought the book!

I like the style he describes. Clear and concise! He actually made me excited about writing again.

I've read "On Writing" in fact I read it recently when my grammar instructor recommended it. It is a very good book. Like Christopher, I too, enjoyed the fact that King said "this" is what worked for me and may not work for others.
