There is a lot of good stuff here. The most honest book on writing I've read so far.

[Annetta Curtis · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think this goes above 5 stars. This is definitely a book I will keep near me. It provided what I needed. I need the guidelines and encouragement of creative writing. The book is very brief, but full of so much helpful writing tips. It is straightforward. Being christian based, it made me want to strive in this goal. The author Charlie W Shedd was also backed by Writers Digest Books.
