How to write
This is the first book I ever read about how to write. Elizabeth George is a prolific writer, and she might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I’ve always enjoyed her Inspector Lynley books. At the time I got incredibly enthusiastic about her plotting and planning process, probably because I had just finished writing my first novel, 120,000 words of formless prose which will never see the light of day.
I’ve just opened the book again to see why I loved it so much at the time, and can see that there is probably nothing new if you’ve read ‘how to write’ books before, but if you like her writing and would be interested in her process, then this a good read. |
