An inside look at three awesome author's writing process? Yes, please,
thank you, and can I have seconds? Seriously this was a lot of fun for
an aspiring novelist like me to get to see and learn about the process
that some of my favourite authors (some old faves and some new faves
whose stories in this collection made me want to go out and get my hands
on other things they've written because wowee zowee was that some good
writing) go through while they're writing their own stories. It
definitely helps me to feel not so alone in my own struggles to get
things down on paper in a way that makes sense and hopefully entertains
readers. I thoroughly enjoyed each of the stories and the authors'
little asides on why they did certain things a certain way, how they
crafted certain scenes to be the way they are now, how they drop little
hints to a twist at the end, etc. The stories themselves, even without
the commentary, were amahzing and heart-wrenching and funny and creepy
and wonderful but I just really enjoyed the commentary and getting a
sort-of inside look at these authors' processes.
So if you're a
writing nerd like me or you just love these authors or you just want to
know more about how authors craft and hone a story, this could be the
book for you.
Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for allowing me early access to this phenomenal book!
