3.0
A collection of stories/confessions from "Southern" writers about the moment they "quit their day job", though some haven't quite yet.
The different ways they tackled the challenge are probably a good reflection of writing style. Some gave humorous accounts, some purple prose, and some more or less engaging.
I haven't read many of these authors. Most famous contributor is probably John Grisham. But I got a sense of how or why they feel compelled to write.
