Lessons Learned from Rule Against Murder

Finished Louise Penny’s Rule Against Murder and heard her speak at Arts & Lectures (http://www.artsandlectures.org).  Her lessons learned:  don’t announce on CBC radio that you are retiring to write a book (that’s an instant recipe for writer’s block); to refuse trying to write because of fear of failure is worse than trying and failing; write for yourself, don’t write in anticipation of what you think your critics or readers will say.
