Summary: A wonderful journey of self-exploration and discovery
Comment: When I started reading Seven Steps on the Writer's Path, I didn't think I would finish it without writing a book of my own. I'm working on a book now. And I looked at a book that I had already written and understood why I would never publish it. It was a first draft, full of good ideas but not ready for publication. After reading Seven Steps on the Writer's Path, I now know where I am in the creative process of writing and what is necessary to get to the next step. I feel empowered about writing rather than burdened by excuses. And I've found that the steps apply not only to writing, but to many other aspects of my life as well, such as exercising and managing projects. I hope you, too, enjoy this novel; it will take you on a wonderful journey of self-exploration and discovery. Whether or not you become a writer, your life will be more passionate and fulfilling. If you already are a writer, this book will help you learn a lot about yourself and the writing process.

Experienced authors Lynn Lott and Nancy Picard will offer you creative solutions to common problems writers face, such as writer's block, procrastination, frustration, and rejection. Lynn and Nancy will help you clear your mind of the cobwebs of excuses that have stood in the way of your writing, and "empty the old, dead detritus of your life in order to make room for the fresh and new." You will become comfortable with the cycle of the Seven Steps (Unhappiness, Wanting, Commitment, Wavering, Letting Go, Immersion, and Fulfillment), identifying which step you are on and choosing your own Writer's Path. You will know when "you are walking someone else's path instead of your own." You will put your writing first, "learning as you go," "tackling your to do list later," and "ridding yourself of the perpetual self doubt machine of comparison." And, you may very well write that book you have been dreaming about. (Note: All quotations are taken from Seven Steps on the Writer's Path.)

Summary: for every writer
Comment: A joyous workbook, interspersed with many quotations from successfully published authors -- celebrities & novices alike. It is for every professional writer who comes upon the inevitable obstacles inherent in this most solitary of crafts -- unhappiness, wanting, commitment & so forth.

I now have an understanding of the phases I've been going through while working on my writing. Rather than bossing us about, or admonishing us to get hold of our bootstraps & tough it out, these authors show us that the process of writing is both organic & chartable (& charitable to boot!). I can now recognize the detours in creativity.

I especially relish both voices & their vivacity. The stories of the process are fascinating. The tools offered usable. The encouragement tangible. As I write in solitude, I now know I am not alone.

If you know a writer, RebeccasReads recommends you give them a copy of the SEVEN STEPS ON THE WRITER'S PATH, & be daily blessed!
