Published in 1991 by the University Press of New England, it delves into various aspects of the writing process, offering insights and practical advice for aspiring and established writers alike. The book explores themes such as developing a consistent writing routine, the power of memory in storytelling, the nuances of character development, and the technicalities of composing both prose and poetry. Huddle shares personal experiences and observations, drawing from his own journey as a writer and educator. The essays also touch upon the subjective nature of truth in fiction, the importance of restraint in writing, and the methodical approaches to mystery and creative composition. Specific essays address the prose of Katherine Mansfield, the use of computers in poetry composition, and the rewards of diligent writing. The acknowledgments section details previously published versions of these essays, highlighting their reception in various literary markets and anthologies. Dedicated to Ghita Orth and Barbara Murphy, this book serves as a comprehensive guide and thoughtful exploration of the discipline and art of writing, aiming to foster a sustainable and fruitful writing practice.","DAVID HUDDLE  \n2-  \n# The Writing Habit\n\nOTHER BOOKS BY DAVID HUDDLE  \nA David Huddle Reader:Selected Prose and Poetry  \n## Short Stories\n\nA Dream with No Stump Roots in
