Love Letters to Writers: Encouragement, Accountability, and Truth-Telling by Andi Cumbo-Floyd
5.0
I have followed the author's blog since in 2009. We share similar book tastes and writing interests. I enjoyed reading about her journey from College Writing Professor to published author. She shares the struggles as well as the joys, and she gives me hope that one day I might do the same.
When offered the opportunity to read an Advanced-Copy of her recent book, I did not hesitate to take advantage. From the first chapter to the last, I felt as though the author wrote the letters for me alone. Her sincere compassion for the writer is evident. Her gentle words express encouragement and empathy without letting us off the hook. Writing is hard work. It requires discipline, practice, and a tough skin. The author understands these struggles and provides valuable insights to help us persevere.
Writers work in solitude and often feel like an island unto ourselves. This book helps us realize we are not alone. We can take comfort in knowing others have navigated these waters before and they are willing to help us wade through to the other side. This collection of love letters provides hope for a weary writer's soul.
