This is the best book I've ever read about the realities of writing and getting--or not getting--your writing published. Ann Patchett's core message in this straightforward and practical memoir about the writing life, can be summed up with the question: How badly do you want it? Her message will be inspiring to some--painfully disappointing to others. She pulls no punches about her own success and about the futility of some writers' expectations. Are you meant to be a successful writer? Read this book and you'll have a pretty good idea of the answer. And only $2.99. What a deal.
