`I have to be honest, I haven't yet read my own copy, so I can't say whether it's entirely grand or something opposite. We'll have to read it together to find out.
`
But Cheuse is an esteemed author and NPR celebrity, who wrote this collection of essays about both writing and reading. It isn't a how-to, no, but rather a compilation of one writer's observations. Sounds intriguing, I think.
`
Check out his author's site, linked above. If the book (in paperback) is something you think you'd like, leave me a comment. At end of day Sunday -- let's say 7 p.m. CST -- I'll place everyone's names in a hat, something sassy and fierce, and ask my husband to draw randomly, twice.
`
Results will be announced Monday. See you then, winners' names in my pocket.
`
Have a great weekend!
Wahoo! I'm first! I'm first!

Thanks Janna! I'm hoarding craft books right now.
ReplyDeleteSign me up, Janna! Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good one! Count me in!
ReplyDeleteBoop! :-}
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like a good book:) COunt me in!
ReplyDeleteSometimes there's as much to learn, if not more, from a writer's insights rather than a "how-to" book. It puts us closer to the craft, in a way. There's nothing like learning from experience.
ReplyDeleteThat does sound intriguing! Cool!!!
ReplyDeleteWe do love these give-aways, especially if they help us understand the struggle and the process.
ReplyDeleteSure! Throw my name in the hat. I always love to hear what writers think about writing.
ReplyDeleteLove NPR! I actually look forward to driving my munchkin to school so I can listen to it. :D This book sounds like a great resource for writing blogs about writing. Write? Er.. I mean, Right?
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of that book but it sounds interesting. I'm definitely in--I'd love to learn more about the craft no matter how it's presented.
ReplyDeleteI like NPR and this sounds good.

Me! Me! Me!

ReplyDeleteI saw a bumper sticker this morning that said
pray for whirled peas
don't know why I told you that. It just made me laugh and I thought I'd share it.
Sounds grand! Put my name in that hat of yours!
