Word After Word

“I’ve hunted high and low for some sort of writing companion that parallels the experience of writing a book only to find many manuals and books professing the secrets to a great novel. Those books did not speak to me, but yours delivered warm, friendly advice and support and I found a new best friend. It sits right next to me when I write and when I’m not writing it sits on the top of my pile of books next to my couch so I can see it and grab it whenever I like–your book has become one of the symbols I use to surround myself with constant reminders of my work-in-progress. It’s kind of like my book’s big brother just hangin’ out and waiting to see my project manifest–it holds no judgment, no inner critic, no ridiculous demands; simply a warm and patient smile as it sees the pages of my manuscript grow.  It is much more gentle than any of my friends that I tell, “I am writing a book.” Your book doesn’t force a smile and nod at me when I’m looking and then roll its eyes and shake its head the second I turn my back.

I must say, I love the size and style of the actual book itself. It is such a beautiful book– the colors on the cover, the design of the pages–it really is so nice.  It’s a showpiece all on its own.”  Gemma (Canada)
