Super Writing Mama Saves the Day!

Wednesday March 26, 2008

I recently reviewed Christina Katz's Writer Mama and was pleased with the resources provided. One thing I forgot to mention in the review was the incredible positivity in her book. The entire thing had a true "you can do this" ring to it- a true ring, not a hollow one. Her quote "success or failure were in my hands all along" says it all.

This job, like every other job out there, hangs quite a bit on the amount of work you're willing to put into it, which, I feel, correlates to your personal ambition.

It is a great book and it does have a “you can do this” ring.

That’s one of its best qualities. PLUS- I forgot to mention- it’s “pretty”- I like having it on my bookshelf.:)

Wow, Allena, thank you for one of the most thoughtful and conscientious reviews I’ve received for Writer Mama.

There is nothing more gratifying to an author after spending months and months and months on a project than reading a well-crafted response.

Thanks again!
