I think there may be some people who are more natural writers than others, but I think anyone can learn to write well enough to publish. That's a lot of the focus of the book. It's more about discipline than it is raw talent.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-51567889873563124472009-07-26T01:23:40.400-05:002009-07-26T01:23:40.400-05:00I'll check it out and see if I could purchase ...I'll check it out and see if I could purchase it on-line.<br /><br />In the meantime, is writing like singing?

I'm really happy that all of your awesome insights have been pooled into one book! <br /><br />I've often thought you gave really sound advice, without too many frills or the trappings of ego. It's obvious that you're a professor and that you were meant to teach. And write, of course. <br /><br />Great work.

I act...Okay. I'll certainly give it a plug. <br /><br />I actually once made a living as a freelancer, but not as a real writer. Pay entails writing stuff that other people would if they had the time, the experience/education, etc. that they claim to have. Oftentimes, it's distasteful, and the client really understand the ins and outs of the process, or what you're putting on paper. And your creativity is curtailed by the restrictions imposed by the client. But it used to pay.<br /><br />I marvel at anyone who's written and published fiction. Tis a hard thing to do.X.
