Michelle Stockard Miller's Reviews > On Becoming a Novelist

Some sound advice here. The first and longest section, The Writer's Nature, contains advice on not being overly pretentious from a man who actually sounds pretty pretentious. That being said, the part on pages 33-34 about 'show, don't tell' is probably the best I've read on the subject since King's "On Writing," and it's only a paragraph long. Pretty amazing. Thinking of copying it down to have beside me as I'm writing. Definitely a book any writer would benefit from reading.
