If you are often asked “Have you ever thought of writing a book？” “Do you have a blog？” to which you respond far too quickly with “What would I write about？” “Who would read my book？” or “I’ve been thinking about it。。”， here’s your writing coach in a book！Sit Write Share: Practical Writing Strategies to Transform Your Experience into Content that MattersKathryn Britton has heard it all and met us all in her writing workshops， and that clearly shows that in her book Sit Write Share。 I feel like s If you are often asked “Have you ever thought of writing a book？” “Do you have a blog？” to which you respond far too quickly with “What would I write about？” “Who would read my book？” or “I’ve been thinking about it。。”， here’s your writing coach in a book！Sit Write Share: Practical Writing Strategies to Transform Your Experience into Content that MattersKathryn Britton has heard it all and met us all in her writing workshops， and that clearly shows that in her book Sit Write Share。 I feel like she lives in my head。 Astonishing！ How she catches me out in my Sit-Stare-and-Not-Write game。 It's like playing chess with a Grand Master who is ready for every possible move you might make。 Britton gently guides the struggling diffident would-be or jaded writer on a let’s see what you need journey。 “This is your writing manual to tailor to your own needs”， she coaxes in her introduction。Fifty-five experiments – no pressure – just experiments for you to consider to get you started， keep moving and stay inspired。 The experiments are set up in the format of neat little packages of story， observations， baby steps， and the moral behind it。 We all love stories - they fuel our own。 We imagine possibilities and quicken our lagging faltering efforts to step up。 My favorite section was the Share Experiment collection。 Sharing what I write has always been the bane of my life - so huge that it gives me reason not to Sit and Write。 The fact that I am writing this is testament to the impact of Britton’s work on a seasoned shirker from writing！ 。。。more

Writing has no barrier to entry and yet mastery requires a lifetime of practice。 This book speed up the mastery process。There are only a few skills every human must get better at。 Writing is one of them。 Get this book and buy it for anyone who wants/needs to level up。
