Description
Dean Koontz once said, “Writing a novel is like making love, but it’s also like having a tooth pulled. Sometimes it’s like making love while having a tooth pulled.” Well said, Mr. Koontz. Between day jobs and kids, spouses and health, it can be a hard thing for a writer to get in a page of a story, let alone an entire novel. How does one manage their time or keep their enthusiasm when on the tenth draft of a story that won’t work? Writers of the world, take heart. In these pages you’ll find a collection of stories on motivation, perseverance, and getting the words in. Sometimes funny, sometimes hard truth, but always encouraging, this anthology will boost the spirits and fuel enthusiasm, and do it for the writer in all of us.
