内容简介
"I would urge other writers, at whatever point in their careers, to take the time to read this indispensable handbook.... Telling Lies for Fun & Profit should be a permanent part of every writer's library."-- From the Introduction by Sue Grafton Characters refusing to talk? Plot plodding along? Where do good ideas come from anyway? In this wonderfully practical volume, two-time Edgar Award-winning novelist Lawrence Block takes an inside look at writing as a craft and as a career. From studying the market, to mastering self-discipline and "creative procrastination," through coping with rejections, Telling Lies for Fun & Profit is an invaluable sourcebook of information. It is a must read for anyone serious about writing or understanding how the process works.
