Comment on Tell HN: Writing helps

Comments

Read any writer's "On writing" book and they all talk about a mandatory amount of words they have to write on a daily basis. I just finished Jack London's and he had to write a 1,000 (polished)words a day. He struggled with it, but strangely, his creativity came from his routine.

I'd recommend Stephen King's "On Writing", Ray Bradbury "Zen and the Art of Writing", and "Ernest Hemingway on Writing". All have great insights into the joy and struggles of writing, but each on makes you want to be a great writer.

Best of luck keeping it up!
