concise and delightful
This short book - only 76 pages - has some really wonderful creative writing exercises. Light enough to carry everywhere, I keep my copy in my purse with a small notebook, to take advantage of time spent in waiting rooms and so forth -- honing my writing and stretching my imaginative limits. Highly recommended!

Wonderful!
This is a powerful little book packed with more information than some of the larger books I have purchased. I am glad I bought it.
