Now Write!: Fiction Writing Exercises from Today's Best Writers and Teachers by Sherry Ellis

challenging informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

3.0

As should surprise no one when a book has multiple authors, this book was a mixed bag of good and bad. It's basically just writing exercises grouped into categories such as editing, finishing touches, and characters. The first few chapters were much stronger than the later chapters, and I often wrote 1000 words on a prompt, though then towards the end, well the last one I did I got only 84 words, so that's not great. And I wound up skipping large sections of the end like the one that told me to create a playlist or listen to music my characters might listen to. I'll give it three stars for the beginning chapters, but honestly, I just couldn't even with the later chapters.
