: : : Having read three of Dr. Murdock's novels (and currently getting started on a fourth (Crueltown), I'm always checking his author page at Amazon to see what's new. Turns out he now has a new book out on how to writing fiction, "How to Write Fiction: Tools and Techniques." I immediately downloaded it to my Kindle. Right from the first page, I could see it was unlike any other book I'd ever seen on fiction writing. He creates short stories, pointing out the writing techniques used as the story evolves. What a great way to teach writing!
: : Already ordered it. Looking forward to reading it.
: Got it. Read it. What a great book! Unlike any book on writing I've ever read. The author really lays out how to write a story, step by step, technique by technique. Who says you can't teach creative writing.
Sounds great, but I heard you can't actually teach anybody how to write fiction, especially not in a book.
