I'll be checking them out as possible recommendations for my writing students.Jim Baumerhttp://jimbaumerexperience.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813605584057243544.post-2714243916036209652014-12-09T11:21:33.930-05:002014-12-09T11:21:33.930-05:00I really like On Writing Fiction by David Jauss (o...I really like On Writing Fiction by David Jauss (originally published as Alone With All That Could Happen): http://www.davidjauss.com/on_writing_fiction__originally_published_as_alone_with_all_that_could_happen__67537.htmEmmanoreply@blogger.com
