Review of 'The way of the writer' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

One of the best books on writing I've read and I've read a lot of books on writing. Johnson is a John Gardner disciple with a lot more discipline. His boot camp no nonsense approach made sure that his creative writing classes and book was not the joke Gardner labeled it. Johnson is also a philosophy PHd, there is a lot connections here between writing and philosophy. I found his excersizes and advice very helpful.
