February 16, 2005: I'm not a new writer, but I 'stall' now and then. There are plenty of books that address the issues we writers face on a daily basis. I've read many of them. But I've not been able to put a name to the roadblocks in my writing career--until now. Page after Page, by Heather Sellers, addresses the issues that make writing so hard to stick with. Her voice is friendly, often humorous. You find yourself looking over your shoulder, wondering if she's been watching you all along. You want to call her up and invite her over--swap writing stories with her over cappucinos at Starbucks. True, the beginning of the book focuses on the new writer, but seasoned writers can stand the positive reminders peppered througout those beginning chapters, and, more importantly, pocket the early message as praise for having stuck with a profession I once read is rated second on the list of difficult careers. Wrestling alligators is first. The second half of the book enlightens and arms you with the most amazing, simplicstic logic that you find yourself wondering why you didn't see the solutions to your personal roadblocks yourself. The tone is not condescending. It is not didactic. This book is an enthusiastic cheer from someone who clearly loves writing and will do anything in her power to keep you loving it too.
