Welcome back to this week's Feature of the Week...
Going back to one of my first purchases of a writer's help book when I embarked on my writing career in 2007...wow has it been 13 years...phew! Where does the time go?! I'm pleased to present...
Writer's First Aid ~
Getting Organized, Getting Inspired, and Sticking to It
by Kristi Holl
Getting Organized, Getting Inspired, and Sticking to It
by Kristi Holl
Divided into four sections...
I. Getting Started
II. Work Habits That Work For You
II. Work Habits That Work For You
III. Money and Other Practical Matters
IV. Create the Writing Life You love
Writer's First Aid is a go to guide of guidance in every stage of your writing career.
When I first purchased Writer's First Aid I read it in its entirety with the excitement of unwrapping a gift. I was immediately drawn into the writing world of Kristi Holl through her expert knack of making you feel as if she is speaking to you directly. My book is earmarked and highlighted to the hilt and I refer back to it often when in the need of steadfast and clear advice.
Check out Writer's First Aid and if you are so inclined treat yourself to this never ending resource.
Kristi Holl's first middle-grade novel was published by Atheneum (1983). To date, Kristi has sold 42 books: 40 middle-grade books (30 fiction and 10 nonfiction) and Writer's First Aid and More Writer's First Aid, adult books to help writers survive the writing life. (Eleven of her books are mysteries; her Haunting of Cabin 13 won the Maryland Children's Book Award).
Learn more about Kristi and her writing world at her website.
What books do you suggest to expand one's writing tool box? I'd enjoy hearing about your recommendations. I look forward to our conversation.
Thank you for joining me today.

I've seen that book before and heard it is really good.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, it's a keeper!
DeleteThis was one of my firsts as well, Donna. Kristi is amazing!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it, Karin!
DeleteI'm uber-organized, but sticking to a writing schedule is difficult.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is difficult at times to stay to a writing schedule. I have to feel the writing for me to write rather than going with a schedule.
DeleteForty-two books is exciting. Congratulations, Kristi. That book does look familiar.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Bev. Yes indeed,Kristi has an amazing career!
