Book Lust with Nancy Pearl featuring Priscilla Long

Seattle author and writing teacher Priscilla Long discusses the art and process of writing with host Nancy Pearl. Long's book, "The Writer's Portable Mentor," serves as a guide for writers at all levels looking for help structuring a book, story or essay and scrutinizes the sentence strategies of the masters. She shares why writing every day - even if you don't feel inspired - is important. She delves into the rules of writing, including structure, grammar, and usage. And she explains why beginning a sentence with a conjunction such as and, but or so  is OK (despite what Nancy's fourth-grade teacher told the class).
