I enjoyed listening to these ideas of focusing on your writing practice. I related to many of the hinderances and excuses and felt released by the ideas of keeping going. Some writers stay put and some move around their whole lives - that resonated with me.

This book is a balm for the writer's soul. I'd recommend it to everyone who writes or is somehow related to a writer.

I'll be reading this again. This is one of those books that cause new ideas/revelations to occur to you every time you read it (I've already reread a couple of the chapters - I also used a high lighter =D). I found it to be a restful kind of book as well. I like to write so it was also useful. It makes you think.
I intend to keep it by my writing spot so I can read a chapter here and there if I'm stuck.

Aside from the Stephen king memoir about writing; this is the second book on writing that really inspired me. so much so, I even took some notes and highlighted a few things as well.
however, unlike Stephen king, this book is a more about the writing craft and less of a memoir about it. Goldberg's approach is much different than King's. but the one thing they share that is important is that where one writes, one much also read.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I'm so glad my creative writing teacher made us buy this book. it was indeed worth the read in my own time.

every chapter is bite-sized but reads like a full sized novel, in that it leaves you feeling full & overflowing. thus i have been happily reading this for the better part of three months. a great read, for people who want to write, but also for anyone creating anything. just fantastic.

Amazing/amazing/amazing.
This inspired me and I even had a pretty good writing streak after reading.
If you enjoy writing in any form... I highly recommend this.
