The advice I wish I had been given before my 1st day of college! Great blueprint for what to do each year of college to research, choose and prepare for the best career path.

The writing in Ellyn Peirson's book "cancerwords" is profoundly moving as she journeys through her son's formidable battle with a rare, and ultimately lethal, form of cancer. Sharply articulated, deeply felt, often devastatingly raw in expression, and profoundly introspective, she manifests shock, rage, despair - even the fascinated revulsion of the clinical processes of therapy which her son, Glenn, must endure. At times, it is almost unbearable to read because of the jaggedness of a mother's grief as she witnesses the intense suffering of her first-born child but is helpless to relieve him of it; and then her description of the wild hope that springs up through their exhaustion when there is remission of the tumour, shattered ultimately by the horror of metastases and the subsequent renewed and ferocious therapy.

Writing nonfiction is more like sculpture, a matter of shaping the research into the finished thing. Novels are like paintings, specifically watercolors. Every stroke you put down you have to go with. Of course you can rewrite, but the original strokes are still there in the texture of the thing.
