How to Quickly Learn the Magic of Writing Success For most of my adult life I have been engaged in the writing, the editing, or the criticizing of fiction. I took, and I still take, the writing of fiction seriously. So I make no apology for writing seriously about the problems of fiction writers. I have had firsthand experience with almost every current ""approach"" to the problems of writing. The difficulties of the average student or amateur writer begin long before he has come to the place where he can benefit by technical instruction in story writing. He had longed to hear that there was some magic about writing, and to be initiated into the brotherhood of authors. This book, I believe, will be unique; for I think he is right. I think there is such a magic, and that it is teachable. This book is all about the writer's magic. (From the Introduction.) Scroll Up and Get Your Copy Now.

Lit a fire under me
A wonderful, heartening, encouraging book about the importance and value of trusting one's own capacity to write. I guess i've read a hundred books about writing and this is one of the three that actually sent me back to paper with a pen in my hand. loved it!

most excellent practical book that ever was
very reassuring to the doubtful writer, about writing the pitfulls the creativity involoved, the doubts , the fears, the conscious and unconscios working together and against each other, practical excercises and the most helpful exercise being to write everyday, without hope or fear but just to get in the swing of things, ironically published prior to the 1950s but still extremely relevant , the book has not dated but remains useful today as then!
