Anyone who's ever sat down to write a novel or even a story knows how exhilarating and heartbreaking writing can be. So what makes writes stick with it? In Why We Write, twenty well-known authors candidly share what keeps them going and what they love most—and least—about their vocation." Previous library book at one point; bought used-good but never used after purchase. There is some tape and stickers on the front and back covers, but no real damage other than light wear around the edges. The pages inside appear untouched as well as unmarked (other than library stamp on first page) and no damage. Overall, the book is in very good condition.
