The Writing Habit: Essays
by
David Huddle
Facing the blank page of the empty computer screen requires an unswerving belief in possibility, a steadfast assurance that something can and will come out of nothing. In The Writing Habit, David Huddle demystifies the writing task and shows that what may seem like alchemy is in reality a habit: the work itself, not magic, unlocks the writer's potential.

When I was a young writer, I wanted to read books that would teach me the secret to good writing, good stories, getting published. Now that I am not a young writer, I realize that a book like this--about how to live your life as a writer--is just as important. Huddle is generous and humane and very, very wise.
All interesting essays offering insights in to the writer life that I found helpful in understanding not only the writing itself but the world a writer inhabits.
