Although I still have to produce something worthy of being published, even as a short story, I have nevertheless found Adrian Magson's book to be very practical, based on common-sense and experience, and extremely useful. I am following his advice, be it more slowly than I would like, and I am enjoying the process. I find that all of Adrian Magson's books are very well written and I have tremendous respect and admiration for him as an author and also as a person who is so willing to share with others, his own experiences and knowledge. I recommend this book to anyone who feels the urge to write but needs some encouragement and useful advice in order to make the all important start.
