Why read this book?
To improve all your writing.
To subdue some refractory story
Tip 1 - get the story told in first draft.
'You know not, but you know not what you know not'.
Tip 2 - what is the story about? What hols it together?
Tip 3 - Better to be wrong than be spineless. 'Flitter-mindedness - a new idea every week and interest in the old one dead and gone - is one of the handicaps that keep a would-be writer would-be and no more to the end of their writing days'.
