This very readable book breaks down the writing process into an analogy of a locomotive. In railroad imagery, Kathi Macias takes the reader on a practical journey through the necessary steps of successful writing; including focusing your ideas, interesting starting sentences, re-writing, and story progression.
Kathi Macias is the author of 15 books and the ghostwriter of over 100 books. Her clarity of direction and gentle, yet motivating exercises contained in this book clearly show that she loves her craft and wants to help others love it as well. I found her book to be an inspiring reminder of what good writing requires and that it is reqired both, of novice, and of master. This book is available at Amazon.com.
