P. Morrell has to say about the writing process. Her books are fantastic. "Between the Lines" is one of my favorites, though I also found "Bullies, Bastards and Bitches" very informative and well organized. Every writer should own at least one of her books. Great article.

I have three now and this is the latest purchase. Although, I thought it was funny that on the cover she hasn't added the editorial mark that would make the I in is small cap when it gets put back where it belongs. Great book so far!

This is some of the best writing advice I have ever been given. Thank you. “Your opening promises that you are going to tell the sort of lies that the reader specifically wants to hear.”

(I love the cover as well. ;)) It's an excellent point that the opening is making a promise--one the writer has to keep.
