Summary of this Book...
In my opinion this is one of the most useful tools available to creative writers today. It is packed complete with 70 short, simple writing exercises in order to spark your creativity. An example of one of the exercise is described as follows:

Write down five characteristics of a person who you admire. Then, she suggests some questions that you should answer about this person as related to how that individual has impacted your life.

She also talks quite a bit about how to deal with writing when the "muse is not there when you need her." She deals quite a bit with writer's block and she is an inspiration to beginning writers.
This type of Book is good for...
Anyone who wants to write, or anyone who is currently struggling with finishing projects that are due.
I especially liked...
It seems to put a spiritual aspect into the process of writing. It helps a person become connected with oneself in a way, only with words versus other methods.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Become a professional writer. This is one of the books that had made me want to write so bad and I realized it was like an inner calling. Not something I could avoid any longer.
This Book made me feel...
Capable, able, important, and creative. I also felt this sense of duty as I really felt the passion inside to become a writer.
I recommend this Book because...
For all the reasons mentioned above. I think this is one of the most useful and inspiring writing lessons on the face of this planet.
