Bolker has compiled a selection of essays to help the writer along whether your issue is tackling writer's block, finding voice or simply finding the heart to get started and keep with your writing. The most important lessons show you that you're not alone in the ways that you feel about writing and in particular your own writing. The authors use personal stories to illustrate the lessons they've picked up through the years. The lessons stick and provide ideas that you can incorporate into your own. What I was pleased most by was the inclusion of women writers and theirs stories of coming to write and coming to find voice. This is a volume that I'll go to whenever I'm feeling stuck unsure or just in need a good story. ( ) Since the day I decided to start writing my first book, this was the best purchase I ever made. Writing can be a solitary, disconcerting task, particularly when it's your first time and you have no benchmarks against which to measure yourself. This book, with essays about the craft of writing, and stories of personal experiences by seasoned, successful writers, is a beacon for the lost. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
