Page 22
It is also my sincere hope that this book has helped clarify for you some of the more daunting aspects of the craft, providing you with some constructive, I-never-looked-at-it-quite-that-way approaches that you can “take to the bank.” Concrete knowledge, borne of my experience, that has hopefully added to your skills, and again, much more importantly, to the pleasure you will derive from your writing.
