My Review
I've been writing for quite some time now with four books published and more on the way, but I find that at times I'm using the same phrases over and over again. Tired of straining my brain trying to come up with something different, I decided to give this book a try. It's great! Whenever I feel myself reaching for an emotion and using the same old, same old, I simply open this up and read the entire section on the emotion I'm working on. By the time I finish reading the section, I usually have some great ideas. Love it!
