Once a lawyer, Terry Brooks left that career behind when he established himself as one of fantasy's most popular storytellers. The author of nineteen New York Times fantasy bestsellers presents a nonfiction work that is half a memoir of his writing career, half a text on how to do it yourself. Included are chapters on how to come up with ideas, plotting, characterization, rewriting, and much more. In addition, Brooks explains the realities of a writer's life, which has little to do with literary parties and a lot to do with plain old perseverance, determination, and going for broke with each chapter.
