Summary: Rogers WORD WORK Makes Good Sense
Comment: Many writing books give the reader specific technical instruction followed by batches of writing exercises. Not so with this one. Although Rogers shares ideas for getting around writing problems (procrastination, networking, writer's block, taking rejections, etc.), he concentrates on the entire world of being a writer. He shares what he knows in essay format in such a way that any reflective, working writer can benefit. I was especially taken by the chapter, "Death and the Day Job," in which Rogers discusses the real reasons we should think about and focus upon our writing and why we do it.
This is a book for thinkers, doers, achievers, and all those who want to achieve in any realm of writing. It reads like a wise mentor is sharing the information, and the entire book is peppered with humor and information about other writers and their processes.
I give this one high marks, right up there with THE COURAGE TO WRITE by Ralph Keyes, and LIVING THE WRITER'S LIFE by Eric Maisel.

Summary: Just the Right Touch
Comment: I heard Bruce speak at a writer's conference and was immediatley drawn to his wonderful storytelling ability. Word Work is full of compassion for those who are compelled to write but struggle to do so. He understands the very real self-doubt and procrastination that every writer faces and his wonderful anecdotes make you laugh with their ring of truth. He not only identifies the difficulties of the writing life, he gives excellent suggestions for overcoming them. I found this book very helpful as well as fun to read.

Summary: Delightful book
Comment: If you are at all interested in writing, this book is a must-have. It is less about writing technique and more about a writing life. Rogers assumes that you feel it is your "calling" to write, and he shows you how to translate those lofty desires into the day-to-day work of a writer. Excellent read.
