Unlock the Secret Creative Mindset That Transformed Ray Bradbury’s Writing Forever
“Read poetry every day of your life.” — Ray Bradbury
The book also contains a lot of content that would be considered memoir, covering much of Bradbury’s journey of becoming a writer from the age of twelve until much later in his life. It carries the reader through his early work and submission (and rejection) process to “making it” and later adapting his own work for other mediums. In this sense, it reminded me a bit of Stephen King’s On Writing, although in Zen in the Art of Writing, the memoir is interwoven with the advice, which is presented as personal experience (you can do with it what you will) whereas King’s book was more clearly divided between memoir and definitive advice; however, both books are vital for any and every writer to read.
