Negative Positive
Title: Inspired by just her language
Review: Friedman's writing made me drool. I was feeling writer's envy just reading her analogies and metaphors, then of course, she talks about writer's envy.I got this book from a creative writing instructor, and I doubt that that instructor knows what a legacy she's given me. From distraction, to --oh my goodness--writing about what's true, I found Friedman's words jabbing me in the ribs the way my husband does when he's trying to tell me, "See, See? That's true, isn't it?"Personally, I think that even if you don't get anything from the actual content of this book, you can get something from her style. Aside from her poetic language, she uses meaningful anectdotes that made my brain light up in agreement.Sometimes it's just really spiffy to know that all these weird psycological turmoils we go through as writers, or wannabe writers (that's what I am), aren't so uncommon after all.
