This really is a "workshop in a book." The entries are by different published authors. You can picture yourself walking room to room at a retreat center, showing up to hear these...except the COOL thing is that you don't have to worry about the GREAT stuff they said that you know you are forgetting and you don't have to take scribbled notes of their shared brilliance that you won't be able to read later because you got down only half thoughts.

It's like getting recordings or transcripts of workshops at a writing retreat.

You can read all at once, skip around or read and return to these. The great part is that there are different viewpoints, different styles of writing and this adds to the overall value of this book!
