Shawn is a fantastic author and proves it again with his latest work "Building a Life Out of Words." The setup for this semi-autobiographical writer's guide is sobering - $50K in debt and a defunct construction business - yet simultaneously empowering in that he literally wrote a better life for himself and his family.It reminded me of a quality mash-up of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" with "Elements of Style" by Strunk and White.This handy guide also includes essays from other writers who are living by the pen. This is a must read for anyone who hopes to make a living the "write" way.
