I’ve been enjoying Weinberg’s technical and fiction books for years. I say for years like it’s a long time, but really it’s short compared to the decades he has been writing for. He makes technical topics come across clearly with a good strong message. It has been a great pleasure then to read his book Weinberg on Writing: The Fieldstone Method which describes how he does it.
I have to admit that I’m not super drawn to pursuing writing too actively at the moment, so I read the book slightly faster than I could have, but I enjoyed the book a whole heap, and have it as a good reference to come back to. I’m sure I will enjoy working through the book again and doing all the exercises.
The fieldstone approach in the book seems to be a good way to work. I’ve heard of people in other contexts using similar ideas for speaking and teaching, and it definitely is an approach that makes it easy to communicate ideas, and a pleasure to listen/read them.
[I received a free copy of the eBook in return for this review].
