Learn from the Masters of Writing

The act of writing . . . the art of rewriting . . . what to do when the flow stops … how to re-ignite the creativity . . . how to develop technique . . . how to ensure discipline . . . the joy of accomplishment.

This is the stuff of writing.

This is the stuff that concerns all writers at some point in their career. And 'Writers on Writing' covers these and other important issues affecting today's wordsmith.
