In case, you haven’t guessed this book focuses on writing.
I appreciated and respected the concept of the
book which was the idea that most writers aren’t the next Dickens. They are
people that practice their craft and learn the tools to make it work for them. I found this inspiring and it helped motivate
me, on those bluer days, when I forgot how much I enjoy writing and how happy
it makes me when I manage to write every day.
Roy Peter Clark’s writing style was excellent
and meant it was evident from the first page that he was knowledgeable and
enthusiastic about the subject. The way
the book was structured was also very helpful.
Each chapter came with a list of activities at the end which practiced
the tool which had been taught in the previous section.
My one struggle with this book centred around
the fact, I don’t think I was the target audience. I am relatively new on my “writing journey” and as much as I would
love it to become a career, it is very much a hobby. I felt this book was made more for those who
were already paid writers or those who were closer to considering writing as a
career rather than more at an exploratory level.
Either way, if you have an interest in
writing, this could still be of great use to you.
