I frequently meet people who want to write a book, but don’t know how to begin. I love this book because it starts with the obvious (physical space) and moves on to creating the space in your head that’s required to create a book. Topics range from how to center yourself, how to create writing rituals and how to use your environment for inspiration. Although A Writer’s Space is primarily aimed at writing fiction, much of it also applies to writers of non-fiction.
The book contains 26 lessons. On the surface, some sound deceptively easy. However anyone whose written fiction will recognize that the author has perfectly captured the struggles (and mind games) that keep writers from writing. This is an excellent book for anyone who is considering writing fiction or wants to improve their writing practice.
