Excellent book. It is not easy to face a blank page as a writer, just as an artist faces a blank canvas. So these quotes from successful writers who have had years of experience and who are now successful are very valuable and carry many insights. To some of them I could say, "Yes, I have felt that way." but many of them opened new understanding for me. It will be the kind of book that I will want to go back to during the times I can't seem to sit down and write. Something like talking to an old friend who not only understands but can also point the way forward. Especially enjoyed the stories included about the authors who finally became published despite all the rejection and harsh words they went through at the hands of publishers and others--perseverance pays off. A gem of a book.
