5.0

when i found this book, some years ago now, i couldn't not buy it.
it is one of those investments, discovered, appropriately when i was running creative writing workshops and feeding myself on words.
i have a beautiful collection of books on writing and this is one of my favourites!
wonderfully organic...i have a notebook just for fruitflesh.

this book is full of my,your,her stories...they are all there hiding between the pages, in waiting..

difficult not to be inspired, utterly sensual, beautifilly feminine...don't hold back...one of those rare books i wish i had written....that is also encouraging me to do so!

Some great ideas for producing honest, vulnerable writing but because she used vile words such as "juices" "squirt" and "blossoming" more than once this book automatically gets knocked down to three stars.

Some of the exercises seem like they might be helpful, but overall, I didn't get much out of this one.
