Samples:
"Little by little the writing gets done. A book emerges from the ether, to join its brethren in the great library of mankind. I am the author. Of all possible lives I might have chosen, this one feels right."
--
"When I was working on my first novel, then my second, then my third, I kept thinking there would come a day when, finally, I'd have it all figured out. There'd be some novel writing process I could follow again and again that would allow me to write books with far less hassle and strain. Eventually I realized that hassle and strain are the process."

"I almost hate to tell you about the false solution. Once you're aware of it, you'll never be able to read books or watch movies without this narrative slight-of-hand being obvious. From this point on, you're a magician who knows how the woman gets sawed in half."

What critics are saying:

"Positive, solid advice offered in a breezy, useful way. It's going on my small shelf of writing books." - Gary Cohn
