Review:

"The secret is to take the time you have--however brief--and use it wisely." And author Emerson, herself a successful freelancer, shows us how to do just that, using the stray "bytes" of time in our modern, fragmented lives to produce articles, reviews, and humor pieces that sell. While focusing on 30-minute "game plans," Emerson admits her "time guerrilla" approach may not work for getting what Ed Abbey calls your "fat masterpiece" done, but this book will get you writing--or at least strip away any remaining excuse for not getting it done.
