I am continuing apace on Writers at Work and in the process learning the working habits of writers. In this edition, I picked on P.G Wodehouse, Pablo Neruda, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Irwin Shaw, Kingsley Amis, Joseph Heller, Gore Vidal, Joan Didion, and Joyce Carol Oates.
I am getting closer to the holy grail of writing.
