Second paragraph of third chapter:

Premature burial.

I picked this up at the Lovecraft Arts and Sciences bookstore in Providence last December, a 2020 reproduction of a 1938 publication of Lovecraft’s Commonplace Book and notes on story-writing, with some extra material which is mainly synopses of other writers’ stories. Lovecraft is of course hugely problematic, but his notes on story-telling are insightful.

I was very interested by the first section, on the writing process, where he advises aspiring writers to start with a chronological list of the events in the story and only then to look at how the narrative will reflect them – actually really smart advice, and better writers than Lovecraft have struggled with it. Otherwise there’s not really much there. Still, you can get it here.
