Three bits of advice:
1. Read, read, read.
2. Write, write, write.
3. Edit, edit, edit.
In other words, writing is hard work. It comes through practice, through gaining an ear for language and then endlessly rewriting drafts.

It's been very disheartening in recent times that people associated with noble cause organizations, like Greg Mortensen and Somaly Mam (and I realize there's a huge difference there in how funds raised were actually used) have turned out to be not quite who they seemed. What would you like to tell readers and donors about continuing to trust organizations to do the right thing and trying to aid change?

The Humanist Discussion Group at my Unitarian Universalist Church will be reading and discussing A Path Appears in January. We are interested in the most effective steps a very small church can take to make a difference. Should we focus on problems near home or maximize the financial effectiveness by addressing problems in the developing world? We love your book!
