This is my WRITING BIBLE!!! I have learned so much from this book it just shocks me every time I pick it up. It's a collection of all the BEST essays on writing and the writing life, from all the best writers. It also has this amazing section in the middle of revision exercises that I have used religiously every time I write a story.
