Armchair BEA - Topics - Ethics - Non Fiction In all Its Forms

Ethics was a topic brought up today and a suggestion of forming groups and regulating quality.  Although ethics is an important quality to value, I’m not sure it can be regulated effectively.  I could be wrong if group members take pride in their blogs and insist on everyone’s standards to be above reproach.  So as an individual blogger, I will clearly state that I pride doing the right thing and ethics is important to me.

 

I blog fiction and can assure you the stories you see come from my sleep deprived, grape soda laden cranium!

 

Onward…..

 

Non Fiction!

 

At first I could only think of one non-fiction book that I really enjoyed and then a few more popped into my head.  Here is my list.

On Writing:  Stephen King.

I have never read any of his horror tales because I’m a big baby chicken.  However, I did read this book as if it were fiction!  I stormed through it sucking up each word!  In this he discusses his own journey into fiction writing and gives a few tips and personal antidotes.  It is the most un-boring non fiction book you could ever read (out of the few non-fiction books I’ve read).

The Fire in Fiction:  Donald Maass.
Writing the Breakout Novel:  Donald Maass.

When I first started writing I wanted to make sure my scenes popped an pulled people into the story so I  got these two books and read through them.  I use them as references to beef up scenes and create cliffhangers.

 

Are there more that I should read?  Probably.  Will I do it?  Probably not unless someone gives me  a really good recommendation.  So let’s hear it!

 

What’s your recommendation for my next non-fiction book to read?
