A Broom of One's Own - Words on Writing, Housecleaning, and Life

Now a writing teacher, Nancy Peacock has a varied resume: house cleaner, bartender, carpenter, locksmith, costumer, baker, waitress, assistant drum maker, and newspaper deliverer. But throughout it all, she was always a writer-the author of two highly regarded novels. In these honest and witty essays, Peacock explores the writing life-offering useful lessons on subjects such as inspiration, craft, and criticism as well as encouragement to all writers-regardless of what their current job may be.
