Sometimes it seems like all of humanity is saying no. No, we don't want you for this job. No, you're not good enough to get into our school. No, we don't like your presentation. No, we won't fund your idea. No, we don't think you have the ability to play on our team. No, we don't think you're pretty enough, thin enough, tall enough, fast enough, have the right stuff for our needs. What's really bad... sometimes we believe them.

Among the quote-makers are politicians, writers, athletes, sinners, and saints. If there is one thing they have in common, one consistent theme among the voices, it's keep trying. The quotes were selected because they illustrate in a few words what most of us would find difficult to express in many. Some are short, but none are trite. They stand the test of time.

Writers have called writing everything from curse to cure, art to addiction, passion to purpose. Some called writing a reason to live; others thought it a cause of death. Peeking at Pillars is a collection of quotations about writing from which author Steven Lundin extracts universal truths about writing and reconciles them with his five year experience of writing every day but two. He relates the humor, hopes, fears, and frustrations of the pillars of writing to the modern experience of writing. For example, Lundin uses: Margaret Atwood's "The wastebasket has evolved for a reason" to explain how Atwood's "write, wad, and toss" is today's "key press, backspace, delete-delete, cut, copy, and paste," showing that failure has gone green F. Scott Fitzgerald's "First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you," to explain to new writers: "First you write a character, then the character tells his story, then you take the credit" Virginia Woolf's, "For a woman to write fiction...," to answer what is needed For A Man to Write Fiction Tolstoy's "All happy families are alike..." to warn writers how easily the first line of novels can assure Your Place in the Grave P.G. Wodehouse's "I just sit at my typewriter and curse a bit" to remind writers how fortunate they are to have computers - "that is, they're fortunate when the damn things work." Peeking at Pillars is for readers and writers, men and women, young and old, and the busy and the bored. Its bite sized portions make it ideal for travel or late night reading.
