Someday You'll Write

I read this book at about 10 years old and again ten tears later. I'm sure I'll red it again soon. Weather you are a seasoned writer or a hopeful beginner, Ms. Yates instructions and suggestions are very encouraging and clearly stated.

My wife purchased this book as a present for our granddaughter as a part of a present (scrapbook materials etc.) to encourage her to write and keep a journal. I picked it up and although I thought it would be elementary, I found a compact treasure of helps and hints and encouragements to write. In my view it's suitable for both a beginning writer, and as a matter of review and reminder even to more experienced writers. She generously give illustrations and examples to illustrate her points -- and although modern writers might be inclined to diminish her advice, I find it basic, foundational and above all, *encouraging* to a young (or old) writer to get started and write!
