Not much of that arthouse stuff here, folks. Ambigous ramblings on the mystery of the craft are noticably absent. That's because ambiguity and mystery are precisely what this book serves to erradicate.Having read and benefited from Marshall's earlier works on writing, my hopes for this one were high. Mr. Marshall did not dissapoint. Face it, we glad men and women in the army of the unpublished are amateurs--but we don't have to present ourselves as such. He doesn't cotton to our "foster your creativity" sort of needs; he takes us to boot camp, shows us what it's going to take to become writers. I loved it. More than that, I needed it: From shoring up my plot and pace to letting me know exactly what my ms., cover letter, synopsis, etc. needed to convey and look like. Want to break into print? Start with "The Marshall Plan for Novel Writing". Then get this one. Years from now, if you are honest with yourself, you'll be glad you did.
