Summary:

"The Roads We Travel is a memoir told in the style of Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, Stephen King's On Writing, and Ellen Gilchrist's The Writing Life. Instead of approaching the pedagogy of creative writing in the traditional academic, prescriptive manner, Armand uses his own life's journey to becoming a successful writer and teacher as a way to pass on what he's learned over the years about what makes good writing work (as well as what makes some writing unsuccessful). But, as previously mentioned, the text is not prescriptive in nature; however, it seeks to teach by inspiring readers, even those who are not necessarily writers themselves, but simply people who want to read a story of perseverance and hope and determination"-- Provided by publisher.
