Amazon.com A small gem of a book. A collection of memoirs and en passant advice/therapy for writers...[that] should inspire anyone who struggles with words -- Publisher's Weekly --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Publishers Weekly California book editor， novelist ( Remember Me ) and self-described voracious reader， Lipsett here produces a small gem of a book. A collection of memoirs and en passant advice/therapy for writers， her journal is notable for its lapidary phrasing ("a New York accent as forceful as a subway") and candor. Lipsett's traumas and tests--her mother's death during her childhood， a rape， a trip to Africa， motherhood and breast cancer--occasion reflection. Lipsett also offers wry tales of her editing apprenticeship ("Willis L. Parker was looking for a serf")， her hazardous venture into ghostwriting and her attempt to organize the Bay Area Freelance Editors' Guild， a group she left after a year when her enthusiasm flagged. One concluding anecdote--about a Late Bloomers' party she hosted for "gifted women of a certain age" who have grown into their work as artists， therapists， gardeners， etc.-may speak most to Lipsett's peers， but her book should inspire anyone who struggles with words.
