denise kay jacobs's Reviews > Time to Write: More Than 100 Professional Writers Reveal How to Fit Writing Into Your Busy Life

The book is based on published authors' writing strategies as revealed to Stone in interviews. This is a little fluffy, I think, but it builds the book. It's also a good way to discover some new authors (or for the authors interviewed to plug their writing).

All that aside, the book has great take-aways for those willing to do the work of investigating their own writing style. Stone helps us figure out how to fit writing into our life. Are we binge writers? Can we write any time we have a spare moment? Do we need to write in the morning? Should we go to work early and write an hour before the work day begins? These are good questions, and as a writing coach, I'm going to pull from this book when working with clients. Stone also includes a section on creating a writing action plan. Again, if you're willing to do the work . . .

I consider the book a good resource. It's useful, but I can't rave about it. To me, it feels like Stone is attempting to fit a workshop into a series or a seminar into a semester-long class.
