7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Painless Way to Write, March 25, 2006 Reviewer:Cat Lover "Angel Lover" (NYS) - I purchased this book because it was a requirement for a Writers On-Line class that focused on dialogue. Prepared for a dry book on the subject, I was pleasantly surprised at the approach and examples. It focuses on all writing and not specific genres. This book is on my reference shelf and will remain there as a valuable tool and reminder of what I need to incorporate in my romance writing.
