Stephen King’s On Writing

As fate would have it, I finally decided to read that book (took me some time to get started, as it’s hard to get to something that’ll keep me away from my computer) just when a TV channel is rerunning a King-inspired TV-movie every other night.

Which reminded me I’m not such a fan of his works. And, I found out, not of his writing style either.

The book is however interesting. I’m going through terminal ennui right now, so I won’t detail, but there are things to be learnt, particularly relating to efficiency. I’m not agreeing with all of it, though. But I’ll wait until I have published a couple of books and sold as many movie scripts before I can comment.

Thanks to W. for the book! The wishlist isn’t giving impressive results, but at least it’s not quite useless. (I must confess I’m a bit vexed that I only got presents from people I knew before I blogged. Ungrateful anonymous readers!)

manque un mot non? "je ne le pas non plus de son style d’écriture" ça veut rien dire...

C'est dommage, un cadeau issu de ta wishlist à toi que t'as composée, et finalement, il ne te plait pas vraiment... :o\
En même temps, une wishlist ne laisse pas beaucoup de liberté pour dénicher une idée surprenante censée te faire plaisir !

Moi si j'avais un livre à t'offrir, je tenterais, mais tu les as probablement déjà lus, "La Nuit des Temps" de René Barjavel, ou "Des Fleurs pour Algernon", de Daniel Keyes. Faudrait une open-wishlist ;o)

Je me suis mal exprimé, par... euh, rapport à l'ennui dont je parlais dans l'article.

Donc, c'est pas qu'il ne me plaît pas. C'est un manuel, pas un roman, donc c'est pas quelque chose qui plaît, mais qui instruit, et ça m'a instruit :)

Pour l'open-wishlist, tu as raison, faut leur suggérer, c'est bizarre qu'ils n'y aient pas pensé. Et, non, je ne les ai pas lus, je n'ai pratiquement rien lu, de toute façon.

eh... le virtuel reste.... virtuel
