If you aspire to be the next James Patterson and find fame and fortune by publishing your first novel, this book is a spash of cold water to the face. The book describes the author's struggles and success in getting published. She had always thought that getting published would be a life changing experience, but even after a very successful first book she still had trouble paying the bills. As a writer I enjoy reading about how other writers do it. It's my way of finding an excuse not to write when I'm blocked! I was inspired by the author's passion to write. The ups and downs and challenges of life did not damper her passion to write. Writers will relate and understand her need to write.
