An insightful book that can assist those working and feeling stuck with penning down their ideas. I loved that the author has kept it precise, making the content easy to comprehend. .. font chosen is a bit distracting though. Nonetheless, congrats on BOTD!

What an amazing review. I believe we all have stories to write but how to write them could be the main challenge we face.
Thanks for the engaging review!

I hadn't thought of becoming an author yet. But Iam willing to give it a try once I am done reading this book. If at all I will find enough tips to get me started. Looking forward to this journey one day!

No advice could be amiss to boost the confidence of novice authors, thereby I can only applaud the efforts Ray Hodgson put in this book, even though I won't be able to benefit from it, since I never had an ambition to become a writer. Congratulations with BOTD, anyway!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting self-help book designed to assist writers in writing by using meditation to compose one's thoughts and relieve stress. It might be worth a second look. Well done.
