Details in this book bring to the surface what is missing along the writer's path to submission and later publication. Serious students of literature who hope to some day be published writers will want a copy of "No Such Animal..." Teachers can also add this book to their current curriculum, and make it available as required reading for various writing classes. No disappointments here; written in a manner that will advance future writers. Every writer should consider getting a copy of this book to place in their physical library, so it is available at their fingertips. This book will finally do away with 'Writer's Block'; a DIRTY WORD in the world of literature. The treatment here covers various aspects of what slows or even stops a writer in his attempt to pen his pieces; more importantly, his ability to keep the ink flowing from one page to the next. There is substance between the pages of this book that every reader will be able to pull something from. The pictures that are included will help paint a picture and lay out some ground work to more fully explain the meanings presented. The writer here is able to express his love of not only the written word, and the need to persevere and not bog down or give up, but his own refusal to quit, even if what appears in front of him at various times throughout his writing life seems like a roadblock.
