“Telling Lies” is good. It’s in my stash of books. One of the ones I haven’t looked at in ages. Maybe I’ll read it again (and then loan it to you, Shonna). And i think I’ll see if I can find “Deer on a Bicycle” at the library next time I go.

Lauriemariepea, I’ve heard of Telling Lies for Fun and Profit but haven’t picked it up yet. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!

i’m adding patrick mcmanus to my list–thanks, shonna!
one of my favorites for the practical aspects of writing is ‘telling lies for fun and profit’ by lawrence block. he’s warm, down-to-earth, and offers solid advice for pretty much every issue a writer would have working on a novel.
