  1. I am so wanting this book. I need to get an infusion of motivation to pick up the writing pen again and do what I used to love to do. I have been to her website and she is so motivating~ I was going to buy the book myself, but figured I'd give this a try :)

  3. The long-term benefits of "working out" on a regular basis can't be underestimated for the health and well-being of my writing. Christina's book is just the motivation I need to keep going.
