Combining technical instruction; insights into the methods of working writers; 40 exercises to stretch your imagination and practice your skills; and advice on where to find inspiration, from the mundane to the monumental, it is both an enjoyable and challenging listen. Dip into it if you're in need of a jolt out of a writing rut or follow the structured lessons through each component of good writing.

Good content.
I really liked the content. I wanted a little more by way of examples instead of just a suggestion to “try writing like this”. A short example would have been more helpful. Also, the narrator has a constant whistle. At one point I couldn’t totally determine if there was actually a bird in the background, or if she just spoke with a whistle. She has a nice voice, but that was extremely and constantly distracting.
