Title: Ugh. Too hokey.
Review: I've read a fair amount of books on writing. I know this one is considered a "classic" in the genre, but I didn't care for it. It has some good practical advice. Nothing I haven't heard or read elsewhere, but good reminders nonetheless. But what I'll probably remember about this book is the flakiness of Goldberg, who insists on referring to her Zen training in every chapter. Enough about Katagiri Roshi and your meditations already. I'm sure they're wonderful for you. And the chapter that starts, "There were several time in Taos that I called a story-telling circle," makes me want to rip the page out and eat it. Try BIRD BY BIRD or even STEPHEN KING'S ON WRITING before this one.
