From the Audiobook - Unabridged.
Introduction: The unsayable ecstasies
Don't write what you know
The terror of the white page
Out from the dust : creating characters
Fuhgheddaboudit : writing dialogue
Who what where when how and why
What matters : language and plot
Punctuation : it's not just a throwaway thing (comma)
Research : Google isn't deep enough
No rust on your sentences please
There are no literary Olympics
How old is the young writer?
Then again, don't be too nice
What if I don't get an agent?
Bringing (your own) fresh eyes to your stories
Allow the reader's intelligence
If you're done, you've only just begun
Blurbs (or the art of literary porn)
Should I read while I'm writing?
The dark dogs of the mind
Be exhausted when you finish
Letter to a young writer, redux.
