The book is formatted in a series of questions and answers. I laughed out loud when I read the following correspondence.
How can I be sure I really have creative writing ability?
You'll never be sure.
That pretty much made my entire $29.95 well spent. The editor, Jane Friendman, goes on to say:
It's best to believe in yourself and keep moving forward. Most writers cycle between periods of self-doubt and periods of confidence.
I suppose with the New Year approaching I'll be making the same resolution I've been making for the past few years. To write more, to finish (and start) the novel, to make an honest commitment to explore this craft and see if there's actually something in it that I need. It beckons me.
And so I pass the floor on to you. Will you be making any writing related resolutions this year?
