Whether you believe this thing we call talent can be developed through learning or that it is an inheritable trait, the one truth you can bank good money on is this book will not magically bestow upon you the gift of perfect writing. Nor does it contain a sure-fire method of plucking your story from the ether and transforming it into a bestseller. It also doesn't glue your butt to the seat and hardwire your genius directly into the computer. Writing is donkeywork and guess what? You're the donkey. What you will find here are inspirational and motivational messages, along with tips and techniques to help you understand the basics of writing and possibly help you develop a routine that keeps you positively writing from the start of your project right up to the part where you type, "The End."
