When I started reading this book soooooooo many years ago, I never imagined it would take so long. But when you're reading a book with so many great creative tips, you have to take your time. I guess. Usually, I'm a pretty fast reader!

Anyway, enjoy the review on the Writer's Fun Zone!

It's 2017! As my high school principal would say, "Make it a great one or not, the choice is yours." Here are my #bookishresolutions:
1. Read 1 self-improvement book a month (whether it's teaching a new skill or helping with something like confidence)
2. Read at least one book per week (goal of 52 for the year)
3. Read more nonfiction and diverse authors
4. Finally complete one of these photo challenges!

What are your resolutions? #readjanuary

As a writer who's trying to pursue a career in the field, it was amazing to see the neuroscience aspect of something that is such a big part of my life. This book was incredibly informative with a multitude of techniques to help the reader/writer improve their skills, I recommend this book to anyone that would like to take their writing to the next level whether to build a career or getting past a bout of writers block.
