“Book Descriptions: Part manual, part testament, part autobiography, The Knowing Is in the Writing was written by the author to engage new and young writers of fiction in matters of not only craft but also life and livelihood. Beginning with an overview of the nature and elements of fiction, the book then deals with specific issues in the writing of fiction, from plotting and characterization to the workshop esperience and publishing one's first book. "Through fiction," Dalisay says, "we best make sense of our lives by stepping away from them--by momentarily becoming strangers unto ourselves, by exploring more interesting alternatives to what we already know or most likely would do, and, ultimately, by giving ourselves a new reason to hope and believe that life indeed follows a plot we can direct--if we only knew what it was."”
