“Long live the King” hailed Entertainment Weekly upon publication of Stephen King’s On Writing. Part memoir, part master class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this superb volume is a revealing and practical view of the writer’s craft, comprising the basic tools of the trade every writer must have. King’s advice is grounded in his vivid memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling early career to his widely reported, near-fatal accident in 1999—and how the inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recovery.

For years Ryder Carroll tried countless organizing systems, online and off, but none of them fit the way his mind worked. Out of sheer necessity, he developed a method called the Bullet Journal that helped him become consistently focused and effective. Then it went viral. To his astonishment, Bullet Journaling is now a global movement. The Bullet Journal Method is about much more than organizing your notes and to-do lists. It's about what Carroll calls "intentional living": weeding out distractions and focusing your time and energy in pursuit of what's truly meaningful.

As Maureen Corrigan, Gatsby lover extraordinaire, points out, while Fitzgerald's masterpiece may be one of the most popular novels in America, many of us first read it when we were too young to fully comprehend its power.

We all learn at least one language as children. But what does it take to learn six languages...or seventy? In Babel No More, Michael Erard, "a monolingual with benefits," sets out on a quest to meet language superlearners and make sense of their mental powers. On the way he uncovers the secrets of historical figures like Italian cardinal Giuseppe Mezzofanti, who was said to speak seventy-two languages; Emil Krebs, a pugnacious German diplomat, who spoke sixty-eight languages; and Lomb Kat, a Hungarian who taught herself Russian by reading Russian romance novels.

Drawing on diverse studies of the mind, from psychology to linguistics, philosophy, and learning science, Art Markman, Ph.D., demonstrates the difference between "smart thinking" and raw intelligence, showing listeners how memory works, how to learn effectively, and how to use knowledge to get things done.

Really Useful Book
Dr Clark helps me understand how working with a writer's group will improve my skills. These skills include Writing, Reading, and Listening.
He also let me know that starting at the end can help me understand how to get from the beginning to my chosen ending.
I am working on a technical book on solving failure modes on electrical generating systems.
Dr. Clark's book has helped me understand how to write, not for me - but for my reader.
The technician who has no schooling on this specific system will be able to solve the basic system failure mode after reading my book and doing the preparation homework.

Good advice, but novelists beware
There's a wealth of good advice here. That's obvious. However, a huge portion of this book pertains to article or essay writing. While I think there are a lot of good parallels to draw, "not liking the subject you were given" is not really a problem of most, dare I say all, novelists. I found a lot of the advice in the book, while good and useful, sadly just didn't pertain to me or my writing.
