It's great to be able to share from our experience.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-8232087328174863782015-04-20T17:45:44.549+10:002015-04-20T17:45:44.549+10:00I enjoyed this review, Paula.

A rough quote: 'when we're older we may forget a few things, but we've got so many life experiences crammed into our heads we should be able to share. And this is applicable to writers, isn't it?Rita Galiehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586506137798711397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-90798581401482517892015-04-20T09:30:09.641+10:002015-04-20T09:30:09.641+10:00I haven't read any of Dani's fiction, Ian,...I haven't read any of Dani's fiction, Ian, but after reading this book, I'm tempted to. I think it's a good introduction. I agree that is similar to King's On Writing in the ways you mention. They are both quite entertaining in their reminiscences at times.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-46475385283463331272015-04-20T09:26:22.275+10:002015-04-20T09:26:22.275+10:00I'm sure you'll enjoy it, as I did, Jo-Ann...I'm sure you'll enjoy it, as I did, Jo-Anne.

Interesting that this book sounds a little like KIng's "On Writing", part memoir/part advice for writers. I'm very tempted to check it out as a result of your review. <br /><br />Thanks, Paula for sharing it with us.Ian Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192687613923596829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-29096579170258713002015-04-20T08:09:34.494+10:002015-04-20T08:09:34.494+10:00I appreciated this in depth review, Paula.
