The craft of writing is a lot like spinning a web: You take threads and weave them skillfully together, and only you know where this intricate network of twists and turns begin and how it will end. Now, with Lawrence Block's expert advice, you can learn this art of entrapping your reader in a maze of fascinating fiction.

Spider, Spin Me a Web is the perfect companion volume to Block's previous book on writing, Telling Lies for Fun and Profit, which Sue Grafton noted "should be a permanent part of every writer's library." As helpful and supportive as always, Block shares what he's learned over the course of writing over one hundred published books: techniques to help you to write a solid piece of fiction; strategies for getting a reader (or editor) to read—and buy—your book; ideas for increasing your creativity and developing an environment that will nourish you and your craft.

Spider, Spin Me a Web is a complete guide to achieving your full potential as a writer.

Amazon.de

The short essays included in Spider, Spin Me a Web were culled from Lawrence Block's long-running monthly column about fiction writing for Writer's Digest magazine. Block, an incredibly prolific mystery writer with more than 50 books to his name (at one point he was writing more than a book a month!), employs a funny, conversational tone in addressing issues of technique, career strategy, and living the fictioneer's life. He uses the analogy of the fiction writer as web spinner to hold the many threads of his book together. "The writer of fiction," he says, "is a spider. Drawing upon his inner resources and shaping them with his craft, he spins out his guts to trap his dinner." Block strikes a realistic balance between writing for oneself ("write what you yourself would most identify with, write honestly and unsparingly and fearlessly") and writing with readers in mind ("I try," he quotes his colleague Elmore Leonard as saying, "to leave out the parts people skip"). Though Block's success has been mainly as a writer of mysteries, his wisdom applies to all fiction writing; in fact, he is suspicious of the whole concept of genre writing. "For all that their guidelines attempt to codify their requirements," he confides, "I have heard no end of editors say that the manuscript they most hope to find on their desks is the one that breaks all their own unbreakable rules--but that grabs them so hard and moves them so much that they have to buy it anyway." -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: kindle_edition.

Dr. Amanda DeWees

Excellent resource for writers

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 26. Mai 2000

Along with Block's _Telling Lies for Fun and Profit_, this is a book I've found indispensable over the years. It's not only tremendously helpful and encouraging for me as a writer, but it's also, like all of Block's work, sheer fun to read. Block's writing on writing is particularly engaging because he gives the impression of addressing a friend and colleague, offering the benefit of his experience for what it's worth, without talking down to his audience or intimidating with a judgmental list of must-dos and must-nots (like some tyrannical authors of books on writing). Block never condescends, and he always acknowledges that writers work in different ways (sometimes, in fact, different books work in different ways), so that the would-be writer feels free to take away only what works for him or her, without obligation to learn to write The Block Way.
While I find _Telling Lies_ even more helpful during the writing process, _Spider_ offers a fuller menu for the writer: not only does Block address specific tools of writing like foreshadowing, mining life experiences, and background information, but he also tackles some bigger issues about writing routines, marketing one's work, what to expect from editors, and the best ways to become successful. He also gives solid practical advice on more "advanced" writing issues for those who have established themselves and may be facing specific dilemmas regarding ghostwriting, living on a writer's income, and other realities of the writing life (not forgetting the harshest reality: rejection). And for those in a philosophical mood, he looks at the writer's mindset: how to set a writing goal, how to achieve it, and even how to determine what kind of writer you are.
Altogether, _Spider_ is a refreshing combination of down-to-earth conversation about the nuts and bolts side of writing and serious thoughts on the more elusive questions liable to bedevil the writer. It's a great resource whether you need a pep talk to get started, find yourself bogged down during your writing, or just want to get the perspective of a lively mind on the whole writing life. I advise every fiction writer to keep a copy on her desk.

Words of wisdom from the Master

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 25. Juli 2013

Verifizierter Kauf

Having long ben a fan of Lawrence Block, this book was a must have. It is a collection of articles written by Block for a magazine aimed at writers. Amusingly written, the fairly short chapters are full of good advice, amusingly presented. If you fancy being a writer, get this book and read and re-read it.

Block scores again

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 7. September 2012

Verifizierter Kauf

Like all of Lawrence Block's books, this one is another hit. If you are a freelance writer you cannot afford NOT to
purchase Block's books on writing fiction. I have been a freelance writer for years but not non-fiction. When I got involved in writing a fiction book Block's books were recommended to me by a friend, also a writer. I will never regret purchasing these books. I got his whole series on writing fiction and they have been a GREAT help to me. I highly
recommend his books to any writer or anyone who wants to be a writer of fiction.

Enjoyable How-To-Write Book

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 3. September 2015

Verifizierter Kauf

Lots of wonderful advice on writing by a real pro. The book is very enjoyable and sprinkled with fantastic humor, although much of what he says can be found in almost every other how-to-write-fiction manual. I do, however, really like this author's style. My only disappointment is that he uses some smutty and crude examples, which I could have done without. If it hadn't been for that, I'd give it five stars.

More Golden Advice for Professional Liars

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 19. September 2012

Verifizierter Kauf

Following up from Telling Lies for Fun and Profit, another book crammed with some of the best writing advice out there, shared with wit and love by a great writer and writing teacher. Not just a book about how to write, but how to write like yourself, how to survive in the world of writers and others, and live the writing life with style and grace and integrity, keeping your wits about you and your sanity mostly intact.

I re-purchased these when they were republished for the Kindle, and am really enjoying re-re-reading them.

GREAT PRACTICAL ADVICE!

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 23. September 2012

Verifizierter Kauf

As a professional writer, I am always looking for new viewpoints on all aspects of my craft. No one I've read communicates the nuts and bolts of writing more authentically, clearly and entertainingly than Lawrence Block. Read this and also read his book on writing the novel. No b.s., just the facts from a guy who's been doing it in multi-genres for over half a century and making a living at it. Lawrence Block is The Man!
