Product Description

 
"Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a land mine. The land mine is me. After the explosion, I spend the rest of the day putting the pieces back together. Now, its your turn. Jump!" Zest.

Zen In The Art Of Writing is more than just a how-to manual for the would-be writer: it is a celebration of the act of writing itself that will delight, impassion, and inspire the writer in you. In it, Bradbury encourages us to follow the unique path of our instincts and enthusiasms to the place whe

The Art of Bradbury's Inspiration

Date of Review:  Jan 15, 2002
The Bottom Line: One of the three best writing books I've ever read (along with "How Writers Journey to Comfort and Fluency" and "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Publishing Science Fiction").
Review: For a long time many writers have tried to put ways of writing into two boxes. Either you write when the inspiration strikes you (and not before), and do beautiful work, or you write as work, and your writing is therefore uninspired and hackneyed. I...

What is "Zen" anyway?

Date of Review:  Aug 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: Under 30 words? Can't I just say "Amazing!" 30 times?
Review: I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Loved it! It changed my life! I read Sun Tzu's Art of War in which the concept of Zen was discussed. Excellent! Jonathan Livingston Seagull? Phenomenal! I even read a book entitled Zen and the Art of...

Zen in the Art of Writing - Follow the Lead of a Master

Date of Review:  Nov 10, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you enjoy writing, Bradbury's suggestions are a worthwhile read.
Review: Zen in the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury is not a book on the mechanics of writing. Instead, it is a glimpse into the mind of a writer and a discussion of what he feels are essential elements for creative writing. Moreover, this book is a...
