Holiday Gift-Giving for December |
 |
 |
Is it possible to write a book in only fifteen minutes a day? Barbara DeMarco-Barrett thinks so. In her debut book, Pen on Fire: A Busy Woman's Guide to Igniting the Writer Within, DeMarco-Barrett encourages would-be writers to reclaim stolen moments throughout the day and turn them into productive writing moments. As a creative writing teacher at the University of California-Irvine, the producer and host of the weekly radio show "Writers on Writing," and the editor of the ASJA Monthly, DeMarco-Barrett knows what it's like to have a small amount of time competing with an immense desire to write. In this interview, she addresses what distinguishes her book from the many others, how this writing guide will help prospective writers, and why men can benefit from this "busy woman's guide."
