A wonderful warm hug of a book, packed with practical help and inspiring goodness.
Just the tonic to boost the moral of any writer.

When I received this from Bloomsbury, in return for an honest review, I was in a writing slump. In-between projects and side hustling like mad, and I seemed to have no space for my creative spark to catch. This was just the book post I needed - full of wisdom, practical exercises, and honesty. I'm working through the journal at my own pace, and yet there is accountability. To me! It's a win-win from that point of view. But has it worked ... YES! Allowing myself just a little space to go back to basics and write freely, with no consideration for deadlines, markets, or what social media wants me to do, has freed my brain no end!

Invaluable, thought provoking, full of insight, but above all...practically useful for writers.

I'm a few books in to my writing career. Once in a while I need to slow down, and reconnect with my writing: why I do it, how I do it, etc. That may sound a bit 'navel gazing' but it's really just about getting a fresh perspective and trying out a few things; in a word being 'playful' and this book really helped me do that.

What a helpful book! A way to feel positive about my writing, discover who I am as a person and a writer, and how I can get the best out of myself! highly recommended!
