Refuse to Be Done

Practical, helpful, and well organized. I listened to the audiobook through Hoopla / my library, and immediately added it to my bookstore cart so I can pick up a physical copy next time I buy books. It???s a book I want to revisit.

This book is filled with lots of excellent tips for novelists, although any writer would benefit from some of the end-stage tips in the last section (about removing weasel-words, polishing dialogue, etc.). The author might be talking literally when he says “three drafts,” but it seems more like three stages of novel writing, with possibly several drafts within each stage. At least that's how my process works. Still, it's a great way to approach novel writing.
