How to Quickly Learn the Magic of Writing Success For most of my adult life I have been engaged in the writing, the editing, or the criticizing of fiction. I took, and I still take, the writing of fiction seriously. So I make no apology for writing seriously about the problems of fiction writers. I have had firsthand experience with almost every current ""approach"" to the problems of writing. The difficulties of the average student or amateur writer begin long before he has come to the place where he can benefit by technical instruction in story writing. He had longed to hear that there was some magic about writing, and to be initiated into the brotherhood of authors. This book, I believe, will be unique; for I think he is right. I think there is such a magic, and that it is teachable. This book is all about the writer's magic. (From the Introduction.) Scroll Up and Get Your Copy Now.

I used to have atrocious performance anxiety and trouble writing, and while it's not completely dealt with I'm certainly on the path. This should be book #1 for green writers as it focuses on productivity first and foremost, and for olde writers it it an 86 year old call-out post.

Here's the library that started it all for me, all the reading that is, and I walked in today for the first time in 24 years. The Cole Harbour Public Library in Nova Scotia also happens to be located in the same facility that trained up Sidney Crosby.

I was required to read this book for my university creative reflection class and I'm very skeptical about how-to writing guides however this one actually had good advice. A lot of it was pretty obvious but seeing it written down on paper was illuminating.
