Just Write! A Calming, Realistic, and Optimistic Approach to Writing Your First Book by Lauren Bingham is a “Really, Very, Super, Incredibly, Amazingly Good” book! Bingham has written this guide as if she is your best friend because she motivates you to write that book you have wanted to for ages! She provides detailed guidance in the first part of the book. Later, she reminds us that tasks are achievable through small steps. Bingham uses powerful insights and encouragement by mentoring readers on the finer details, starting from the often overlooked but ever so crucial pre-writing step - organizing and keeping great notes. She helps guide dialogue, plot, and character development for fiction and non-fiction books using appropriate analogies and exercises.
I grabbed this book because I have been mulling over the prospect of starting a book for ages and I would recommend Just Write! by Lauren Bingham. Using practical but effectively engaging exercises, Bingham places the pen right in your hand and shows you just how much fun it can be to get that book out of your head. I was grateful for the resources that Bingham chose to assist novice and aspiring writers. The exercises were valuable for teaching me critical thinking and quickly imprinted it into my memory. The examples of prose included in the book were wonderfully analyzed to illustrate how the style of writing can affect the message. I‘m ready to write!
