"This book... is intended to cover the writing process from the first moment you decide, or dream, that you want to write, on through to the third month after publication of your first novel." Author, teacher, and critic Carolyn See guides writers through everything from the basic elements of writing a story, to how to behave around friends and family when you first get published, and emphasizes the importance of sending a daily “charming note.”
