I've read Le Guin's Earthsea books and found them to be classic and altogether pretty cool. But also boring for high fantasy adventures. Le Guin is however, a master in her own way, and I'm trying to read as many books as I can about writing and how to write a good novel.
Steering the Craft is just the book I wanted. A how-to on the craft of narrative storytelling. It even contained writing excercises and tips for whenever I find a writing group, which may never happen. Le Guin thinks I need to show more of an interest in the classics. She is also of the opinion that great stories don't need conflict. Okay. I'll think about that later. Thanks for the tips.
