Rory Miller – Violence: A Writer’s Guide (Second Edition) *** elib exclusive ***Quote:This is not about writing technique. “Violence: A Writer’s Guide” is an introduction to the world of violence. To the parts that people don’t understand. The parts that books and movies get wrong. Not just the mechanics, but how people who live in a violent world think and feel about what they do and what they see done.“Novelists need to be experts on storytelling. For everything else, we need to fake it convincingly. If you want to become a real expert on violence, you can spend years in a dojo, and in a jail, and on the street, and in Iraq, and in conferences and libraries analyzing your real-world experiences. Or you can borrow the expertise of someone who’s done all that. Clear, concise, invaluable. Sgt. Rory Miller has written the best book on violence I’ve read.”–NYT Best-selling author Brent WeeksOpen for everyoneNumber of pages: 288Year of publication: 2013Url:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Violence-Writers-Second-Rory-Miller…Amazon rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (9 reviews)flashy on TP wrote:I spent five years working as a nightclub bouncer. Three knife scars, two bullet wounds. Several teaching licences in martial arts. Forget about this being a writer’s guide.Best material I have read on violence and the predatory mindset. If you are interested in self defence, combat or martial arts, you need to read this.crazyaghore on TP wrote:second that…very few people realize that violence is often the only answer. Unless you’ve been on recieving end a few times, you’d have hard time getting into this mindset.Striker on TP wrote:Great book. Just finished it.Most people “think” they will know what to do in a violent situation, but the majority will “freeze” once violence occurs. This book gets to the heart of violence and teaches you the right mindset for dealing with it.5/5 from me May you find the LIFE and LOVE,Aeon
