Zen in the Art of Writing

Dave | Storyphoria

Not so much a technical manual on "HOW" to write as it is a delightful glimpse into how Bradbury approached his writing. There are some great ideas and things to try if you care to put them in practice but I can see many today scoffing at his ideas and approach. 

I enjoyed it, it's a quick read with a lot of good information that will be revisited and employed in my own writing efforts. Well worth the read.

A great book for inspiring writers, authors, screen writers, matter of fact for anyone who wants to tell stories through any medium. 
It's a great dive into Bradbury's thoughts and processes, all while being very motivational with a piece of truth, as a creative person, you should do that creative activity regularly and watch out for Aha! Moments. 
I treated this book as more of a quick creative biography rather than a guide and it didn't disappoint. It helped understanding how Bradbury started his creative works and the thoughts behind it. 
Adding to it, it's a light read, easy to process, quotable and quite short.

This is probably one of the best books on writing I've read so far (not that I've read many). It's brilliant, inspirational, and full of anecdotes and deep insights. Bradbury is a genius when it comes to weird, original ideas and he has no qualms about sharing his tips and secrets about how he became the writer he is. It's a heartening and humbling process reading this book, and I'm so glad I did. 

(Thank you for the suggestion, N. I miss you.)

Bredberijevo oduševljenje samim procesom pisanja je ZA RAZ NO, a ocena je realno 3.75🌟

This seems more appropriate for someone who wants to learn more about the author and his work. Personally, I haven't found any useful advice for aspiring writers, which is the reason I wanted to read this, so I was left feeling underwhelmed.

Essays on Creativity

This collection of essays was fun to go through. I've only experienced Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 (and I didn't enjoy it back when I read it), but Bradbury has such great ideas about creativity and doing the work of writing. It was quite inspirational, and helpful with my own practice.
