If anyone has a writer’s brain, you know that when you can’t write or don’t want to write, you’re usually reading about writing or reading about an author you admire. You do your best to get as much out of life as you can, and you might even daydream about being in a famous and well-paid author. Even one day would work for you to be in his or her shoes. None of us should be living in fantasy or dreaming too long about making it big in the literary world. As they say, you do you, right? But it would be nice to be part of the flip side of the writer’s coin. Is there even a writer’s coin? I bought this book at Barnes and Noble for a relatively decent price and not the high prices I see online. If you have access to Barnes and Noble whether in your city or online, I suggest getting this writer’s companion book on either one. There’s a lot of good information in it and exercises you can practice in the hopes of incorporating the methods into your writing and hopefully in a natural way. As I read this book, it dawned on me I have done a few of these exercises and a few I see as silly but should make the time anyway. Of course, because the way I am, I don’t write on the blank lined pages in the book but do them in my journal because I’m obsessed with always starting a new journal. I’m not sure why but call it accomplishment. Maybe, I need to write in my journal less and do more writing. It’s also dawned on me that if I write a page a day in terms of a novel, then I’d have probably have a whole first draft written, by the end of the year. Maybe, this would allow me to produce books at a faster pace than I currently am now. I can’t go any slower, that’s for sure. I have been working on writing my second novel idea and have written some on another novel idea that may become unintended third novel. Who knows! With each of the twenty writers discussed in this book, there are about three or four writing exercises for each author. It’s interesting to see what writers I gravitate to and what writers I wouldn’t mind trying to emulate in one of my future short stories. I’m a person that likes progress and sometimes I wish I enjoyed activities that were quick and easy. I’m not that person. I pick things that take a long ass time to do like writing, coloring, and even reading since I have other obligations too. Writing is similar to music. The musicians that have never won awards or have sold out concerts across the world are some of the most talented out there. We all know there are millionaire paid singers that do more shaking than singing as their talent. We all know there are not so great writers out there that earn tons of money. Even you write this kind of stuff or sing these kinds of songs that are similar to the next pop singer, this isn’t a guarantee to striking it rich. For the rest of us, we find a combination of hope and joy in writing for the sake of writing because that is all it is for us at the moment. We fall somewhere between here and there, now and then, present and future. We are the writers that continue to write because we have to no matter what the outcome and whatever the procrastination might be, we will not stop until we die.
