I listen to instrumental jazz and bluegrass, but aside from my AM workout, I have no rituals.
David B. Coe

Before writing, I start with a series of questions, specific things I need to know before I can write the book... That list grows and changes as I do more and more research. But when I've answered the bulk of the questions, I begin to write.
David B. Coe

David B. Coe

David B. Coe

In teaching writing, I'm learning new things about writing.
