Powerful message

4. Very interesting way to write a
book
In voice of a dog
Examples:
“Chase ball! Chase Butterfly! Chase
cat! Go to vet for treatment of nose
scratches! Chase Frisbee! Chase
mom! Chase dad! Chase cat! Vet
again!” (Koontz 28)
“Writing is hard. Must give up
important ball chasing, important
napping, important sniffing to write.
Work hard. So many words. Hate
stupid semicolons. Hate; hate; hate.
Chew up pencil in frustration”

“An uplifting, feel god (but not corny) book.

lose?” (W.R. Pursche, Amazon Review).
