The Secret Miracle: The Novelist's Handbook by Daniel Alarcón
4.0
I usually abhor those books with quotations from famous people, especially in reference to writing. Sometimes, the quotes are assembled from previously printed materials; other times, they simply don't address the needs of writers.
Alarcon's The Secret Miracle benefits from his well-worded and insightful questions on the process of writing, which come from his own perspective as a writer. Not only did I get some wise advice from me, but the book effectively provided balm when I was having a little moment of frustration and insecurity. It gave me a nice push towards completing my current manuscript just when I needed it most.
