"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, it's your turn.
Jump!" Zest. Gusto. Curiosity. These are the qualities every
writer must have, as well as a spirit of adventure. In this
exuberant book, the incomparable Ray Bradbury shares the wisdom,
experience, and excitement of a lifetime of writing. Here are
practical tips on the art of writing from a master of the craft-
everything from finding original ideas to developing your own
voice and style-as well as the inside story of Bradbury's own
remarkable career as a prolific author of novels, stories, poems,
films, and plays. 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 where our inner genius dwells, and he shows that success
as a writer depends on how well you know one subject: your own
life.
