Some Instructions on Writing and Life
Sep 15, 2019dstradling rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
If you are looking for a detailed guide on theme, developing character, structure, etc, that can guide you step-by-step through the writing process, this is not the book for that. It is, however, a great book to read if you find yourself lacking the motivation to get writing. I kept having to put the book down every 10 pages because I was suddenly, unexpectedly, feeling the desire to write. Anne clearly loves writing, and teaching about writing, and her love for it is contagious. She helps assuage your fears and reassure you that yes, it's hard, but yes, it's worth doing (even when it feels like you suck at writing). I loved it!
