Vivid and Continuous: Essays and Exercises for Writing Fiction
“Vivid and Continuousis smart, extremely helpful, and—unlike most books about how to write—very funny. I guffawed and nodded my head in agreement as I read the chapter on subject matter to avoid. John McNally’s engaging voice beguiled me in every essay, offering up wisdom gleaned from years of experience as a dedicated teacher and successful writer. This book is one of a kind. I can’t wait to assign it to my fiction-writing students.”—Elizabeth Stuckey-French, author,The Revenge of the Radioactive Ladyand coauthor,Writing Fiction: A Guide to the Narrative Craft
