About this listen
"Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a land mine. The land mine is me. After the explosion, I spend the rest of the day putting the pieces back together. Now, it's your turn. Jump!"
Zest. Gusto. Curiosity. These are the qualities every writer must have, as well as a spirit of adventure. In this exuberant book, the incomparable Ray Bradbury shares the wisdom, experience, and excitement of a lifetime of writing. Here are practical tips on the art of writing from a master of the craft - everything from finding original ideas to developing your own voice and style - as well as the inside story of Bradbury's own remarkable career as a prolific author of novels, stories, poems, films, and plays.
Zen in the Art of Writing is more than just a how-to manual for the would-be writer: it is a celebration of the act of writing itself that will delight, impassion, and inspire the writer in you. In it, Bradbury encourages us to follow the unique path of our instincts and enthusiasms to the place where our inner genius dwells, and he shows that success as a writer depends on how well you know one subject: your own life.

Eclectic but useful
This is a different sort of book about writing. It’s more a series of encouraging essays, Ray reviewing the failures in his writing and the eventual successes, and what it requires to get yourself there, as well as acknowledging a dollop of good luck. If you’ve ever heard Ray Bradbury speak the narrator does a pretty spot on job of capturing his energy.

Trying too hard
Felt pretentious and trying to hard, made it difficult to listen to. Would rather it be direct and deliver the point rather than try for elaborate ways of explaining things. The narrator was annoying to listen to, also.
