Definitely one of the better “author on writing” books I‘ve read. Brooks is generous with his tips and methods on how to be successful but doesn‘t shy away from the mistakes he‘s made either.
I don‘t think I‘ve actually read anything he‘s written but I think I‘ll have to now.

I don't know if it made me a better writer but this book on writing by Terry Brooks was one of the more entertaining reads on the craft that I have read.

A couple quotes from Terry Brooks about writing (plus one more):

“I am incomplete without my work. I am so closely bound to it, so much identified by it, that without it I think I would crumble into dust and drift away.”
