Best Book on the Subject

I own the 2d edition of this book, and it's the best book I've ever seen on the subject. It is sensitively written to guide and inspire an ordinary person in pursuit of a story, and the sories used as examples are excellent - much better than most, yet written by students. Had this book been in print when I started teaching writing, I would not have begun my own (soon to be published) book, "Writing the Stories of Your Life."Elsa McKeithan

A powerful guide to unlock a writer's hidden treasures.

If you've every thought you had it in you to write your life's story, this is the book for you. Clearly written, "Writing from Within" outlines a powerful technique for anyone to "get at" important feeling, thoughts, and memories that are in the past."Write in the present tense. Write in first person. Put feelings into the story." These are some of the suggestions Bernard Selling proposes to make your writing come alive. This is a valuable book.It is highly recommended.
