Time to Write, by Kelly L. Stone

by Andy Brack, editor, Statehouse Report

 

Author Kelly L. Stone reminds people in her new book, Time to Write, that anyone can carve out time to write a book---"If they really, really want to do so." Her practical guide of how to fit writing into a busy life comes with tips from more than 100 professional writers. Bottom line: More than likely if you really want to write, you instinctively know what you need to do to develop your manuscript---you need to write instead of making excuses. "The secret to becoming a successful writer is this," Ms. Stone writes, "There is no secret." She stresses that anyone who has a "burning desire to write" needs to make the time and commitment to just do it, even if it's only 15 minutes a day. By being able to see how other successful writers are able to hold down jobs, raise families and write books, this book is an inspirational must-have for anyone who needs a little extra push to get the job done."
