Pithy and powerful
With this book, Dr. Briles injects a bit of fun into the mentoring process. Loaded with short, dynamic quotes, it makes you chuckle while it's motivating you. My favorite snippet: "Planning your writing is not writing. It is planning." This is a great gift for writers of all varieties. If that's you, get it now. If it's a friend or family member, surprise them with it. They'll thank you.
