You can stop asking me so many times! *Flops into chair and stares at a silent, unamused you* Don't look at me like that, I know you wanted this for a long time and so now I'm giving it to you! A book of my own creation! A work of knowledge and insight into the writer's life! *Frowns* What do you mean, what do I mean? It means this is a book about all things I've learned as a writer and I'm imparting them to you. *Jumps up. Grabs cloak and hat and rushes to the door* Hurry! We haven't a moment to lose! Advice and a helping hand awaits! *Gestures you onward* Let's begin!

How can you predict the unpredictable? Read on.
