Several Short Sentences About Writing

An indispensable and distinctive book that will help anyone who wants to write, write better, or have a clearer understanding of what it means to them to be writing, from widely admired writer and teacher Verlyn Klinkenborg.

There is no gospel, no orthodoxy, no dogma in this book. Instead, it is a gathering of starting points in a journey toward lively, lucid, satisfying self-expression.
