Summary

So what is the secret of writing? There is no secret. But there is a process. There are definite steps aspiring authors can take to help reach their goals. Good writing isn't forged by magic or hatched out of thin air. Good writing happens when human beings follow specific steps to take control of their sentences -- to make their words do what they want them to do. This book will show aspiring young authors how writers work, and the process by which they can become authors themselves.
