5.0 out of 5 stars
The advice to writers AND the stories included were AWESOME!
I'm not a short story reader - I don't like 'em... really never have. So when M.E. Kerr's book came out - I was skeptical about buying it. Then I read a review, and decided to give it a chance. Thankfully I did! I learned not only tips on how to write better, but I learned how to pull a story together. What makes a story tick and I learned - most importantly - that...

More, More, More!
I wish M.E. Kerr hadn't taken her own advice ("Cut! Cut! Cut!") and given us more breadth--I loved what was there, but I found myself closing the book and wishing there were many more chapters. What about "If I Love You, Am I Trapped Forever?" and "I'll Love You When You're More Like Me," not to mention her silence on her recent forays...

More, More, More!,
By Amy Dunlap (Falls Church, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blood on the Forehead: What I Know About Writing (Mass Market Paperback)
I wish M.E. Kerr hadn't taken her own advice ("Cut! Cut! Cut!") and given us more breadth--I loved what was there, but I found myself closing the book and wishing there were many more chapters. What about "If I Love You, Am I Trapped Forever?" and "I'll Love You When You're More Like Me," not to mention her silence on her recent forays into gay issues--what made her start focusing almost exclusively in that area? I also wanted more biographical info that we didn't get in "ME ME ME," such as what things were like once she started selling her young adult books and became so respected by students, teachers, and librarians. I've been a fan since high school (over 10 years), have read all her books, and I hope she does a Volume II, because I'm dying for more!

Thankfully I did! I learned not only tips on how to write better, but I learned how to pull a story together. What makes a story tick and I learned - most importantly - that everyone has a voice - you just have to find it. Now I'm ready and willing and maybe able to try my hand at writing a short story. If I can be half as successful as Ms. Kerr - life would be good!!
