The Pocket Muse by Monica Wood - "Writers Block Be-Gone!"

According to Monica Wood, every writer needs two critics: one who offers unconditional praise and another who tells only truth. Woods Pocket Muse does both--on some pages you get a pat on the head, on others a kick in the seat--and more. Every page of this pretty little book is devoted to helping you jumpstart a writing session, inspire confidence, or strengthen your resolve. There are intriguing writing exercises, thought-provoking photographs, offbeat quotations from writers, enticing unfinished sentences, mini writing lessons, quirky word lists, stories from the writing trenches, and a generous dose of encouragement. Write about a noise--or a silence--that wont go away, Wood suggests. Someone has left a note on a car windshield, she offers. Books of this sort are often forced, or cute, or more about spirituality than writing. Not The Pocket Muse. It is a lively, appealing companion for a writer in need of a good nudge. --Jane Steinberg

"Writers Block Be-Gone!"
(To be read in the voice of an infomercial host...)

Attention all writers! Ever catch a nasty case of that pesky writer's block? Of course you have! Oh sure, the writing is smooth sailing today, you say, but what about tomorrow? Everyone, at some point or another, will hit a big rock that is, more likely than not, hard to heave out of your way.

Fear not!

"The Pocket Muse" is an instant cure for writer's block! Just open to this handsome/highly-portable book--yes, that's right, to ANY page--and an inspirational passage, writing advice, or even a picture will leap off these beautifully glossed pages and you will be instantly cured. And if not? Once again, fear not! Just flip to another page, people, there's something here for everyone!

(/Infomercial-Voice)

On a serious note, my fellow writers, this is a great little book. It's not a how-to-write, though. It's a book for people who DO write, who have already established or are READY to establish a writing life, and this book will help you with what you need to maintain that life. As I said before, not every idea or every page will help everyone, but there is indeed something that anyone and everyone will take out of the book as a whole. It's filled with so many differing ideas that it would be impossible not to benefit from the advice/push that this book gives you. As a writer myself, I highly recommend this book.

9/10
