    A good book for those who are interested in creative writing...

    I purchased this book two years ago and the first copy I purchased was taken by my brother. Of course I headed to the bookstore to purchase my own copy. I refer back to this book over and over again and it's very inviting to an individual that is just seeking out creative writing for the very first time. This book is not a waste of money; it is worth the time reading.

    When someone says "everything" that signifies that no stone is left unturned. I am a Creative Writer and Author and I use this book often, "Because it Covers Everything". Carol Whiteley has provided a Reference that enables you to quickly navigate to any topic in question.
