Pocket Muse: Ideas and Inspirations for Writing
by Monica
Wood
"Our in-store writers' group has just gobbled up this book. It's innovative,
attractive and inspiring in an appealing, offbeat way, and a writer at any level
will delight in the aphorisms, suggested exercises, and creative presentation
of uplifting ideas." - Cynthia Ferrera, Vero Beach Book Center, Vero
Beach, FL

instinct." - Chris Aylott, The Space-Crime Continuum, Northampton,
MA
