I read Paul's book after writing my own book about a similar topic and have to say I enjoyed it thoroughly. Although Paul's methods differ from mine in places they are every bit as valid and present readers with a very clear pathway from concept to finished manuscript. An excellent book - and I'll be over to buy you a cup of coffee next time I'm in Toronto!

Good help to get started

This book gave me the kick to get started on my book project - I am not done yet, but have reached the point where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now the first draft is within reach, and it took 80 days. The book is well-written, well-structured and easy to read. Like all "how to" books I have used the parts I feel make sense and that are useful for me - which was most (I skipped the "warm-up" exercises before you start writing, which feels like a waste of time for me - but it may work well for the author and other writers). The underlying idea and method is quite simple, but so are usually all good ideas. Recommended.
