Stack It Tall: A Guide to Writing By Paul Haedo Part One — selected excerpt Part One Introduction Everything that is great has to start from somewhere; the career and legacy of a writer is no different. The goal of this book is to show you, the aspiring author/writer, that the secrets of writing have been in front of you all along! Hopefully, after you finish this book, you will have no more need of 'writing guides' or other such materials. I aim to cover as close to everything related to writing as possible: style, strategy, the path, and anything else that comes to mind. I recommend reading this book from beginning to end. If you decide to skip around, so long as you do so chapter by chapter, there should be no serious issue. © Paul Haedo. All rights reserved.
