Accidental Genius (second edition, revised and updated) Using Writing to Generate your Best Ideas, Insight, and Content

by Mark Levy 

4 stars

Mark Levy teaches readers how to write without thinking, therefore allowing the best thoughts to come forth without being harnessed back. He has a six-step process and many pointers about Freewriting, the center of his concept. He demonstrates how this process can be beneficial for the business and entrepreneur world, but the same processes can be used for fiction writing, under different circumstances.

There did seem to be some unneeded wordiness, but only in certain parts and it was short. A few times he elaborated on possiblilites like "you could take this here, and you could write about this, and it could lead you here," and it just seemed to drag on too long. However, all in all, it was very useful and educational.

This is a great book for anyone who often gets writers block, or knows they can develop a concept but is being held back. Levy will teach you how to free your mind.

 

 

Jungle Warfare by Christopher A. Cunningham\

3 stars

This is a great book for business owners, but I personally wasn't able to use it much. I wished I could have given it more time or attention, but I requested it not knowing what it was, and I wasn't able to do much with it. It is a devotional journal type book, meant to be a private place to pray and write.

 

 

 

Moonstone by Marilee Brothers

I got about halfway through this first book of the three-book series. It took me telling myself, "sit down and read." to read it. however once I started reading, I was totally hooked and loving the characters. However, it didn't … "call to me." it didn't tell me to read it. It was cute and I liked it, and the tension of the plot was great, it just wasn't enough to keep me reading through the whole book and the rest of the series.
