Book Description
These inspirational and practical quotes come from 500+ podcast interviews with hard-working, award-winning, and New York Times bestselling authors in more than 33 U.S. states and five countries. In Book 3, authors share their honest reflections on Writing Process & Tools. These quotes reveal answers to some of the most commonly asked questions of writers. Authors quoted include David Baldacci, Therese Anne Fowler, Steve Berry, Lisa Jewell, John Hart, Sophie Cousens, Craig Johnson, Wylie Cash, Kristy Harvey, Brad Taylor, Charlie Lovett, Judy Goldman, Chris Fabry, Amber Smith, Tracy Clark, John Gilstrap, Kimmery Martin, A.J. Hartley, Clyde Edgerton, Jill McCorkle, Mark de Castrique, Cathy Pickens, David Joy, Gavin Edwards, and many more. Where do you write? When do you write? Do you write every day? How many drafts do you write? Do you create an outline? Do you use an editor? Do you? Do you? Do you? Though the answers vary in these pages, there are common denominators. As author and writing instructor Maureen Ryan Griffin says, “We all start with a blank page.” And as David Baldacci puts it, “There’s no perfect place to write.” Writers make do with what they have to work with. Take author and columnist Scott Fowler, who has earned 18 national APSE writing awards. He says, “I don’t go off to the mountain to write. I just go upstairs.” Or, as professor, author, and editor Michele Berger says, “A long time ago I said to myself, I can write anytime, anywhere.” Humility seems to be helpful to getting it done. As New York Times bestselling novelist John Hart says, “If a writer becomes hubristic, or begins to take this for granted, or really just thinks he can roll out of bed and bang it out without a lot of effort, that's the first step on the road to destruction.”

Book Description
What happens when the world’s greatest literary icon dies before she finishes the final book in her best-selling series? And what happens when she leaves that book in the hands of her unstable, neurotic daughter, who swears she’s not a real writer? Sara Grayson is a thirty-two-year-old greeting card writer about to land the toughest assignment of her life. Three weeks after the death of her mother—a world-famous suspense novelist—Sara learns that her mother’s dying wish is for her to write the final book in her bestselling series. Sara has lived alone with her dog, Gatsby, ever since her husband walked out with their Pro Double Waffle Maker and her last shred of confidence. She can’t fathom writing a book for thirty million fans—not when last week’s big win was resetting the microwave clock. But in a bold move that surprises even herself, Sara takes it on. Against an impossible deadline and a publisher intent on sabotaging her every move, Sara discovers that stepping into her mother’s shoes means stumbling on family secrets she was never meant to find—secrets that threaten her mother’s legacy and the very book she’s trying to create.

Book Description
The stunning story of one of America’s great disasters, a preventable tragedy of Gilded Age America, brilliantly told by master historian David McCullough. At the end of the nineteenth century, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, was a booming coal-and-steel town filled with hardworking families striving for a piece of the nation’s burgeoning industrial prosperity. In the mountains above Johnstown, an old earth dam had been hastily rebuilt to create a lake for an exclusive summer resort patronized by the tycoons of that same industrial prosperity, among them Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and Andrew Mellon. Despite repeated warnings of possible danger, nothing was done about the dam. Then came May 31, 1889, when the dam burst, sending a wall of water thundering down the mountain, smashing through Johnstown, and killing more than 2,000 people. It was a tragedy that became a national scandal. Graced by David McCullough’s remarkable gift for writing richly textured, sympathetic social history, The Johnstown Flood is an absorbing, classic portrait of life in nineteenth-century America, of overweening confidence, of energy, and of tragedy. It also offers a powerful historical lesson for our century and all times: the danger of assuming that because people are in positions of responsibility they are necessarily behaving responsibly.

Book Description
These inspirational and practical quotes come from 500+ podcast interviews with hard-working, award-winning, and New York Times bestselling authors in more than 33 U.S. states and five countries. In Book 5, authors share their honest reflections on Writing Techniques & Characters. These quotes reveal how writers tackle the fiction techniques of the hook, emotion, theme, conflict, humor, plot, setting, and structure, and how they approach memoir, poetry, nonfiction, and short stories. They also focus on characters, point of view, and dialogue. Authors quoted include David Baldacci, Therese Anne Fowler, Steve Berry, Lisa Jewell, John Hart, Sophie Cousens, Ron Rash, C.J. Box, Craig Johnson, Wylie Cash, Kristy Harvey, Brad Taylor, Charlie Lovett, Judy Goldman, Chris Fabry, Amber Smith, Tracy Clark, John Gilstrap, Kimmery Martin, A.J. Hartley, Clyde Edgerton, Jill McCorkle, Jason Mott, Mark de Castrique, Cathy Pickens, Gavin Edwards, and many more. Because stories have to start somewhere, and so do quote books, this book starts with the section titled, “The Hook.” As author Matthew Duffus, Writing Center Director of Earlham College in Indiana, says, “We have so many options now for entertainment that we've got to be quick. We've got to hook readers and we've got to keep things moving.” Simply put, as award-winning novelist Jon Buchan quips, “We don’t write about the planes that land safely.” But there is more to a good story than the first few lines and the first chapter. That’s why this book has more sections and content than any other book in the series and why we get emotional about it. As award-winning author Randell Jones says, “A good personal story engages with real life. It has to be addressing some universal issue of the human condition, something that most readers can connect with.” Author Kathleen Burkinshaw agrees when she says, “Time can pass, technology will change, but the need for human connection through emotions, that's timeless.” Whatever form or genre you’re writing in, these quotes have something to support your journey through the world of wordcraft.

Book Description
To Have and Have Not is the dramatic, brutal story of Harry Morgan, an honest boat owner who is forced into running contraband between Cuba and Key West as a means of keeping his crumbling family financially afloat. His adventures lead him into the world of the wealthy and dissipated yachtsmen who swarm the region, and involve him in a strange and unlikely love affair. In this harshly realistic, yet oddly tender and wise novel, Hemingway perceptively delineates the personal struggles of both the “haves” and the “have nots” and creates one of the most subtle and moving portraits of a love affair in his oeuvre. In turn funny and tragic, lively and poetic, remarkable in its emotional impact, To Have and Have Not takes literary high adventure to a new level. As the Times Literary Supplement observed, “Hemingway's gift for dialogue, for effective understatement, and for communicating such emotions the tough allow themselves, has never been more conspicuous.”
