Summary: Playfulness Coupled with Logical Questions and Prompts
Comment: I saw the title of this book and thought, "Oh, man...... most of the writers
I meet are deluged with ideas and weak on delivery of those ideas
so what good is a book like this one?!"
Poor initial assessment: I am always glad to see when my initial take
is proven WRONG by a well crafted book!
Jack Heffron writes with a friendly, knowledgeable tone which serves
as an inspiring companion. Not just that, he writes in a way that makes
you think "Hmmmm, this guy must be a working writer -- he writes
in a way that you KNOW he knows first hand what you experience
when you meet the keyboard day after day.
He also tells you upfront what to expect (no "inner child" talk) and
is very organized and logical in his approach. I wanted to applaud
when I read "Don't use this book or any other as a substitute for
writing."
Followed by -- "Explore the idea on the page...." oh, yeah, that's right... it
is a book about WRITING. Not a book simply TALKING about
writing or considering writing or discussing writing.
Each chapter has at least ten prompts (excpet chapter 3 inexplicably
has 9!)
I also enjoyed Chapter 4 -- Stoking the Fire -- which did not include the
usual "Questions to Consider" section, instead advising the reader/
writer "For now, don't ask the questions"... WRITE! (A little bit
of Rilke thrown in for good measure?)
Finally, I would be remiss to not mention the chapter
"Stuck in Revision"..... glorious application of "Ideas" in an area
where as a writer I can become completely comatose.
This one is worthy of not only a purchase, its worthy of a long
time companion both on your shelf and open on your desk.
ENJOY!
