This is the ONLY writing book that has ever actually motivated me to write. One night, I spent 2 hours going prompt to prompt. The questions really make you dig deep inside yourself. Fantastic book!

Pamela has a true talent for this stuff
As a writing instructor, I’ve always used prompts and questions to get my students juices flowing. Pamela does that here, providing examples from her students and her own life as well. If you’ve read her earlier works, you know she’s no holds barred and cuts deep, but she connects with her audience and students with an equal amount of tenderness and charm. Like a fun aunt you want to hang out with at the family reunion, she shows us her storytelling techniques and inspires us to shed our own blood on the page with a few drops of sweat and tears mixed in. Great fun and will use again and again.
