Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A different kind of writing book than the ones I'm used to... The author recommends slowing down, enjoying the writing process, writing for the love of it and not worrying about publication. I take pride in being productive, writing fast and writing well, so many of her recommendations didn't resonate with me. And yet, others did. Suggestions about how to stay in love with your book and how to fight the dreaded book "Creep" apply to all of us. (A-) ( ) This book didn't work for me. I think that for the people who it does work for, it will be a great resource. However, something about the writing style rubbed me the wrong way, and I couldn't take the advice seriously. It has a good message at its heart, I think, but too often it was obscured by things that got in the way of the message. no reviews | add a review
