Book: For Writers Only by Sophy Burnham
Age-range: 13 and up
Recommended: Yes, but not whole-heartedly
If you follow my blog on writing you will know that I've been blocked for the last month or more. In an effort to recapture my muse I have been reading a lot more books on writing. This one was both very helpful and very unhelpful, depending on the chapter.
You should read this book if: you are looking for some great quotes by writers about writing; you are looking for a writer's personal experience with various things regarding writing; you are an alcoholic writer.
You should not read this book if: you are looking for practical advice to overcome writer's block; you are hoping for the secret to writing the next great American novel; you don't enjoy reading sappy personal stories.
