Zen in the art of writing /
Bradbury, Ray, 1920-2012.
Zen in the art of writing / Ray Bradbury. - Santa Barbara, Calif. : Joshua Odell Editions, 1996. - xv, 176 p. : ill. ; 20 cm.
The joy of writing -- Run fast, stand still, or, the thing at the top of the stairs, or, new ghosts from old minds -- How to keep and feed a muse -- Drunk, and in charge of a bicycle -- Investing dimes : Fahrenheit 451 -- Just this side of Byzantium : Dandelion wine -- The long road to Mars -- On the shoulders of giants -- The secret mind -- Shooting Haiku in a barrel -- Zen in the art of writing -- ...on creativity.
Here are eleven exuberant essays on the pleasures of writing from one of the most creative, imaginative, and prolific artists of the twentieth century - an author who truly enjoys his craft and tells you why and how. Bradbury shares his wisdom and enthusiasm for writing as he examines a lifetime of creating and composing scores of stories, novels, plays, poems, films, television programs, and musicals. Refreshingly direct, each essay shares a single compelling theme: writing is a celebration, not a chore. Unlike so many books on writing, this one does not belabor the technical or become obsessed with the how-to aspects of the craft. What Bradbury does bring to every discussion of writing is the fever, the ardor, the delight that he has discovered and which can be yours. -- Cover
