Honestly, I struggled with this book. I see the potential value for a fledgling writer, as it gives well-documented advice as to how to proceed through the writing process. Since I am more of an editor than a writer, I couldn’t relate to much of the angst and issues portrayed. Her methodology is also at odds with the way I tend to work. Still, I see the value of this book. Chapters are short, making the chunks of info absorbable.
