Wow, what a read. Not only for his in-depth treatment of how to write the emotional story that underlies the work, but also for his insight regarding the reasons we write, and the importance of that writing, as well as how we write. Dunne inspires me to keep working on my craft, and also to keep hoping that that work will result, sooner rather than later but still, over time nonetheless, in a body of works that will inspire hope and greater will in others to make this world a better place.

This was a book on writing which I am glad to have read, despite being for screenplays rather than novels. He talks of "a spiritual generosity" grows with serious writing, he says, turning knowledge into wisdom that "will refine your mercy and expand your heart."

I, too, hope that I learn to appreciate every thing and person, developing the writer's soul, and become a good writer.
