The Process: Nine Essays on the Experience of Writing Fiction & “Muse” A Short Story

by Thomas Watson

Writing fiction of any length is a journey through unexplored territory, with the intention of leaving a trail behind for others to follow. In these short essays, one writer shares his view of such journeys, and how it feels to take them. It's a quick look inside one writer's way of working, and of how stories can come into being. Also included is the never before published short story "Muse."
