[RS][Books] Timothy Hickson's series "On Writing and Worldbuilding"

I occasionally go on book buying sprees on AMZ. This is an issue because I don't have the book space. The other issue is that, like the Summer Steam Sale, I buy things and don't use them.

But, I received Volume I in my ... sorry, I'm distracted by a fly in my office.

I received Volume I and immediately enjoyed what I was reading. Each volume has somewhere around fifteen chapters with two-thirds devoted to writing topics and the remaining portion on worldbuilding.

They aren't dense chapters and you can probably get through each one over your morning coffee (or two). He'll pull examples of the topic he's covering out of novels, including some of his own published works.

I very much like how they are short and specific topics. You can see the chapter listings on the AMZ pages.

I've linked to them below. Yes, it's the .ca site but you can search for his name or the book titles. Or, if you search for that code after /dp/ (e.g. 1798967650) that will take you there, too. (It's an easy way to give an Amazon product code to someone without needing the whole URL.)

And, apparently, he has a YouTube channel, too.
