"Combing anecdotes and hard-won lessons from decades of teaching and writing -- and invoking everyone from Hemingway to your great-aunt -- retired professor Thomas C. Foster guides you through the basics of writing. With 'How to Write Like a Writer' you’ll learn how to organize your thoughts, construct first drafts, and (not incidentally) keep you in your chair so that inspiration can come to visit. With warmth and wit, Foster shows you how to get into (and over) your best self, how to find your voice, and how to know when, if ever, a piece of work is done. Packed with enlightening anecdotes, highlighted with lists and bullet points, this invaluable guide reveals how writers work their magic, and reminds us that we all -- for better or worse, whether we mean to or not -- are known by what we put on paper or screen."--Jacket.
