5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and encouraging 21 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is a delightfully easy book to read and work with. There is a different topic given for each day of the year,(and extra) all are challenging, inspiring and enjoyable. The topics are sandwiched between loads of tips and advise on the various aspects of writing all through the book. It is extremely encouraging, I love the fact that it induces no guilt feelings. If this book were a fruit it would be a delicious, juicy, ripe mango.

Format:Paperback
In her Introduction, Judy Reeves reminisces about a writing practice session when the topic was Footprints. In a trice I was off to my keyboard to tap out that image, carried with me all these years, of an immaculately vacuumed brand new carpet upon which I had, unthinkingly, just walked.

This book contains a year in the writing life: each month contains a Guideline; a discussion of subjects such as How To Start; Perfectionism; Slow Down etc. The Beyond Practice sections are about A Writing Date or Cafe Writing; Hot Nights/Wild Women(For Men Too)or Writing Marathons. Hundreds of rousing exercises for the slothful writer, curious snippets of literary lore & legend abound & it's all in good fun & eminently useful!

This is a keeper, one your local writers would be glad to own! Do check out my full review.
