I'll probably get to it after I complete all of my New Years resolutions, read all those books, and find the cure for cancer.

I read this one cover-to-cover in a couple days. LOVED it!

I did like the Hemingway example though, and his crazy uncle. He also had a nice stretch in the end writing the same thing over and over again with different emphasis. Onward I struggle through the writing wars.Rick Bylinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493557860835710721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3546477542650006798.post-62478195647902085682012-12-27T12:40:07.356-05:002012-12-27T12:40:07.356-05:00Thanks for the review, Rick.

I know why I quit the MFA program I was in--too expensive, a waste of time, and not what I was looking for. Additionally, some professors were too full of themselves and not very helpful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089254157802045132noreply@blogger.com
