              Fallacies, Fables, and Fiction: 
              |

          Most how-to books and guides 
              on writing specialize in a specific genre, in grammar, or in aspects 
              of story telling such as character or narrative. What most fail 
              to do is to give you an overview of all aspects of book writing, 
              starting with just sitting and writing, to preparing your manuscript 
              for submission. No matter how many creative writing classes you've 
              taken, writing a book is a unique experience.   |
