5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book!, December 17, 1998

This review is from: Writing on Both Sides of the Brain: Breakthrough Techniques for People Who Write (Paperback)

I'm a writer by trade, and I read this for the first time when I was still unpublished. I found it enormously encouraging, and it's still the book I go to when I'm tearing my hair out. It acknowledges how tough writing is, and it rewards you and me for the stumbling steps we take to get better at it. Plus, it gives us POWERFUL weapons to use against that critical MONSTER who lives in our brain! I recommend it all the time.

This review is from: Writing on Both Sides of the Brain: Breakthrough Techniques for People Who Write (Paperback)

Life changing. Literally and definitely life changing! I had always wanted to write but simply could get nowhere. A mind full of ideas that would flow when on the freeway, in the shower, etc., would run dry in moments after my fingers hit the keyboard. Frustrating! Then I read Writing on Both Sides of the Brain and attended Dr. Henriette Anne Klauser's half-day seminar by the same name. That did it. I'm now an award-winning novelist (Turn Back Time and two other novels--written with my daughter, Lisa Kay Hauser)and have four published children's picture books, with two more to be published this year--and get to speak in schools all across the nation. All of this in eight years. If you want to write but just can get moving--or continue moving--get this book! Put it in you shopping cart right away. Its practical insights, encouraging words, and how-to-do-it-now tips could bring you the deep satisfaction and rich rewards of being a person who can Put Your Heart on Paper. That last phrase is also the title of a book by Dr. Klauser. Happy and successful writing to you! --Philip Dale Smith, Tacoma, WA

4.0 out of 5 stars A delightful book on unlocking the creative genie in you., December 15, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Writing on Both Sides of the Brain: Breakthrough Techniques for People Who Write (Paperback)

More than just a bag of tricks, this brief work shows the reader how to get control of his internal critic (left brain) so that the creative right brain can do its magic.
