    Must read for first time non-fiction writers and those needing to design an organizational architecture for their writing habits

    Ms. Clouse does a fine job of developing a structured approach to non-fiction writing in her book. This is an easy read with compelling and relevant topics that design a solid overall organizational approach to non-fiction writing. After skimming the book several times, I would find myself randomly opening to a page during the writing process to gain inspiration. Overcoming writer's block, designing a solid outline, researching topics and maintaining control over the writing process are all elements that the author adequately approaches. Much is common sense, but the book is laced with valuable nuggets of wisdom and serves as a fantastic overview for the experienced and the novice likewise.
