Dear struggling writer, listen to the children of the night while you despair over your feeble manuscript. Let not the echoes of doubt and erased pages crush your will to write. Embrace the darkness in your writing space and succumb to the lure of inspiration…
Now, back to the bright day. This is a wonderful read for Dracula fans. The insight and the human part of Bram Stoker in his messy, quick notes all over the place bring the readers much closer to the novel and the writer.
But this collection is an even greater and incredibely useful read for new writers who have just tipped their toes in the wild and swirling waters of the writing craft.
Why and how can this blood-dripping book form with wolf fur and garlic smell remains inspire and teach? Because the notes show the book’s prenatal development and the possible different routes for the plot and the characters. It shows the new writers it is needed to plan ahead, look for information resources, scribble down anything interesting on the way… And build the book.
