Hi, first, this is not a post for hoarders to use to point out they don’t need help. This is about keeping information that might be useful in your writing.
I generally clean house periodically, and I’m not someone who keeps things, I like clean spaces and lots of room. But, I do tend to keep books. Over the years I have purchased a lot of ‘how to write’ books. Most I’ve glanced through and kept them because they make my bookshelves look writerly. But, today I was clearing out my storage – preparations for moving house – and I found three books that I have used more than once.
Looking through this is inspiring and gave me lots of ideas when I started to work on Closing the Circle.
I have to say there’s nothing like a dip into religions to give you ideas on building your own world.
Any help on building a coherent myth – or borrowing one appropriately, is worth it’s weight in Leprechaun gold.
Do you have any writing books that you keep returning to time after time?
Perry
