Munday how tos
1. Do you read writing advice/ how to books? How often? Why or why not?
-Not very often anymore. I haven't got the time, and sometimes the advice just drives me nuts.
2. How useful do you think writing advice books are to writers, in general? To you, specifically?
-50-50 for most writers, and maybe just 25% for me.
3. Have you learned any exercises from a writing advice book that you'd like to share with us?
-None at present that I can remember
4. What writing advice books do you think we should check out?
-"What Would Your Character Do?" by Eric Maisel. It's a book of scenarios for building characters, and it's quite interesting, as well as fun.
5. If you could write a writing advice book, what wisdom would it contain?
-Lots of stuff about character building. Best question to ask: if you took away everything in a character's life, what one trait would he/she have left?
