5.0 out of 5 stars INSPIRATIONAL AND INDISPENSIBLE, 27 Nov 2002
By Kelvin MacGregor - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Lessons From a Lifetime of Writing is an essential guide book for learning the craft of fiction, and David Morrell is a fantastic teacher. It's a bit like Stephen King on Writing, and just as good. The bestselling author (and former professor of American Literature) painstakingly explains in careful detail everything you need to know about dialogue and characters, plotting and structure, pinpointing the pitfalls to watch out for that will spoil your chances of success. His advice on all aspects of writing (including the business side) is excellent. Lessons From a Lifetime of Writing is not only inspirational ... it's indispensible. Don't just read David Morrell's book ... keep it on your desk for reference!
