An outstanding resource for the writer. She confirms my technique of learning to write by reading as much as possible. Actually she is the first author I have read that says she reads while writing a story or novel, something that I do as well. Anyway, it's good to get some validation of my own process.
She does rely on some old classics in her examples, and she seems stuck on the Russian authors - but that is understandable. There is an excellent reading list in the back of the book that I need to incorporate into my own reading. There are a lot of classics I seem to have missed.
And it is obvious that I am not reading close enough. Prose has the ability to see the skill of the writer that I don't seem to have at this time. Hopefully I can learn!
