"Wrede" this book

By Julia L.

As a previous reader of Patricia C. Wrede's work, I was pleased when she released her On Writing book. In reality, it is less of a book and more of a collection of essays, but it is still focused on the various aspects of creative writing. The book is split into three sections, the first on what Wrede considers the "basics," the second what I dub to be more intermediate things, and the third focusing more on the details and specifics of creative writing (think flashbacks, how to do proper infodumps, etc.).

FindingYourself Through, Your Autobiography

By Kaila T.

For Creative Writing we were told to read a book about writing. Now at first my reaction was "I don't want to do this" and "why can't I just read a book I want to read?" As a senior in high school I actually enjoy reading, but was not looking forward to reading a educational book based on writing. I chose the book Your Autobiography by Ray Mungo, and I surprisingly enjoyed the book.

Martin creates a universe thats taken him a decade to write and hasn't even finished. This universe has spawned a hit HBO show : Game of Thrones.  The show is based off the novels.
