Incredible! Elizabeth Berg writes the perfect book for writers. She acknowledges AND encourages the desire to write and gives practical advice on how to do it. She covers everything, from the business side to writing classes and writing groups, including her opinions on the "myths" of being a writer. One wants to do the "homework" she gives you. Best of all, Elizabeth Berg continually encourages the reader to be the writer that he/she wants to be, nothing less, nothing more. By the end, the reader believes it's possible and wants to do it too. If you buy one book on how to write, this must be the one!
