Some Thoughts on Eat Pray Love

So, I know Elizabeth Gilbert is not exactly staying awake nights waiting to hear what I thought of her multi-million copy selling book. But it seems like everyone is talking about it just now with the movie coming out and everything. And since I only just picked up a copy for the first time this week, I thought I'd add my two cents:I really, really loved it. (Yes, yes, I know, Elizabeth Gilbert is even now breathing a huge sigh of relief.) But I really did. And not just because it is funny and…See More

Anna Elliott replied to the discussion 'Favourite books about writing?'
"My three top pics are Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, Noah Lukeman's The Plot Thickens, and Donald Maass's Writing the Breakout Novel. All three helped me hugely, especially when I was just figuring out my writing process."

Anna Elliott replied to the discussion 'Novel writing software?'
"I've not heard of newnovelist--my husband is a 'mac user only' kind of guy, so Scrivener was fine for me. What I like best about it is the ability to organize my book in scene by scene pieces, then shuffle those pieces around at will…"

Anna Elliott replied to the discussion 'Novel writing software?'
"This isn't for Windows, but I absolutely can't say enough good things about Scrivener! It absolutely changed the way I write. And I'm not even being paid to say that! ;-)"
