Verbalize: bring stories to life & life to stories (live wire writer guides):
"the first 3/4 did not grab me, but the final 20% was useful (the book ends at 71%).
I do rec it, but if you're on a book budget I'm not sure I rec buying it over getting a copy from your library." |

| I was recommending this to people when I was only a few chapters in. Good to dip in and out of. Especially good to read while waiting in your car for the AA guy to arrive. | |

“A belief in God does not preclude a belief in other things,” he said. “In fact, I find it encourages it. If you believe in God you must accept the devil. Accept the devil, and you accept there are things not of God that wield powers undreamt of by the common man, and exist outside of man’s knowing.”

“The first part of a spell is to start with something true. Then you add the made-up bit, the thing you want to happen— the story. The more clearly you can envision it, the more detail it gathers, the more people that know it, the bigger its influence goes. And if the person speaking it has the gift for it, then the story comes true.”

Thank you so much, Ashley! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it and really excited to know that it is in proofing. Thank you for your help getting it ready to share!
