Status Updates From Living Revision: A Writer's...

Goddamn. I have over half this book underlined. I can’t believe I have t read it before. A book on writing that makes me want to write!

Have heard absurdly good things about this book for years. Finally reading it. So far, absurdly good!

"During my first year of serious writing, I labored under the conceit I was writing a book....only after I revised the book multiple times did I begin to understand what was happening: THE BOOK WAS WRITING ME." - Elizabeth Jarrett Andrew

"The stories write us." --Jack Masterson, The Wishing Game (Meg Shaffer)
