The best part of this book is at each chapter’s end, George gives us writing exercises which are right on point. She emphasizes exhaustive research, background study, and exhaustive character development.
She likens it to a sculptor who must be trained in order to carve a masterpiece. In this valuable book, she talks about the process of writing as a craft and discipline. Unlike books on writing such as Brenda Ueland’s If You Want to Write, which emphasizes the creative and unique spirit of each individual and their outpouring as original, George takes a more realistic approach. This is her very worthwhile book on how to write. She has written twenty-four novels and two short story collections. Elizabeth George writes books that are loved by her readers.
