As writers we love finding the odd article about writing by authors who are no longer with us. We want to know how they wrote, where they wrote, even if they were drunk or sober when they wrote. I suspect that we're trying to tap into the formula that made them successful. You know, the one that leads to the secret handshake in the magic land of publishing, maybe then we'll find our own success.
What I've found is that every writer has their own way of writing and copying someone else isn't going to get the job done. And if you really need your fix for the day head on over to James Reasoner's Rough Edges blog. The writers who's wisdom we'll be tracking down in the next twenty or thirty years are holding forth about the editing process. http://jamesreasoner.blogspot.com/2009/12/now-or-later.html
The number of books, short stories and articles that have slipped from the pens of these gentlemen is staggering. Thanks for sharing guys!
