Are you ready to write with compassion—and change the way you tell your story?
MY REVIEW
I received a copy for an honest review. What follows is my opinion and mine alone.
The Compassionate Writer is a must-have for every writer. No joke. It is one of those writing instruction books where every section addresses something a writer might be dealing with. Do you have writer’s block due to imposter syndrome? Are you experiencing flat characters with no human traits? READ THIS BOOK.
Imposter syndrome is one of those things that every writer experiences and will never get away from. Lately, it’s been my companion whenever I pick up a notebook to begin writing. It’s why my current cozy mystery was lacking. But after reading The Compassionate Writer, I was reminded not to be hard on myself.
The book includes exercises and writing prompts that put you in different emotional spaces, helping shape your narrative style to reflect real life. You want characters or your own narrative to show the story’s humanity. And this book helps with that.
It is a book that fits perfectly with my other writing books, and it isn’t going anywhere.
