Writing Advice by Caro Clarke
I squealed when I read advice aimed at a writer like me: writing is something I do, not who I am. My name is Elizabeth Ann West, not super-sensitive-tortured-soul-who-bleeds-her-ink. Not saying there's anything wrong with people who identify with the second moniker, but forgive me if my eyes unconsciously roll when you spout off diatribe against the real world of marketing, writing a story that fed your soul, or whatever. Bottom line: this resource is great for the writer who cares about craft like a technician would, not as a lover would.
