From "Writer to Writer" helped me immeasurably to focus on from whence comes "my" talent; why I want to write, & how to minimize the negatives.
As one of my first reference tools from the standpoint of another (successful writer, wife, friend, & child of God), I was so encourged in spite of a writer's challenges.
So enjoyable to read you stay in a wonderful flow, get x-cited to pick up your pencil, go to the puter, and begin. Yet, pearls of professional wisdom abound in this book.

Treat yourself... Place it on your desk or night stand & refer, refer, refer.

For me, anything by the Thoene's deserves a 5-star rating! However, this simple how-to was very inspiring for me. As a writer, it has challenged me to write more with its simple "assignments" and comments like "How's that for a challenge?" from Bodie. :-) Writers should take every opportunity to expand & improve their talents/writing and this is an encouraging way to do it. And along the road to better writing, you get to know Brock & Bodie on a more personal level! Now, that's a book worth its cost!!

Enjoyed reading the anecdotes which begin each chapter. All points tied in well to the illustrations. A bit dated as it does not deal with publishing in the digital age, but worth the read anyway.

This book has probably influenced my desire to start writing (and telling me WHERE/HOW to start writing) more than anything else I've read, and I've read a lot. This book is a quick read, but has tons of information. I agree that this book was certainly more relevant 20 years ago, but most of the information is still very applicable to today's writer.

Truthfully, I glossed-over the "Christian" aspects of the book, and paid attention to the other 95%, which was well-written and informative.
