Ann Kroeker is a personal friend, so I'm extremely biased writing this review, but I don't know Charity at all, so we're going to pretend that evens it out. (It doesn't, not by a long shot.)
This book is wildly practical. There are prompts/suggestions at the end of every chapter, and the advice given is applicable to any kind of writing—poetry, fiction, blogs, essays, whatever.
This is not a book about how to write well, but a book about how to live well while writing. I love a book that is encouraging and full of ideas, and this book is both.
All of the stars for my friend Ann.
Total score: 5/5 stars

I have read books by Ann Kroeker before and she is a very level headed, intelligent and thoughtful writer. I enjoyed that she made this a little different format for us by bringing in Mrs. Craig. It was so practical and helpful. Each chapter has a perspective from each of the authors and then practical exercises and challenges at the end to take us deeper on our mission to become better writers. The two women have very different backgrounds and that brings a depth to the experiences shared and makes it valuable to a larger audience. They share personal stories and resources that are readily available. If you are a beginning writer or a writer who wants to jumpstart your craft or push yourself to the next level this is a great resource for you.
