REVIEWS from READERS
“Unique and original! Very well-developed and explained. This book addresses a real issue. People who are more right-brained can struggle with writing an outline, when it may not be appropriate for them to do so. Naomi Rose is really brilliant at combining both nonlinear and cognitive intelligences — espousing a right-brain approach, but explaining it very clearly, including giving an example from her own writing. I’m very impressed!”—Ralph Dranow, author, A New Life and At Work on the Garments of Refuge (with Dan Marlin)
__________
“I thoroughly enjoyed this book and moved through it with ease. Seeing the author's own process illuminated this writing practice and made it all come together in a helpful way. This is a liberating approach that offers breathing room. I didn't feel the typical resistance I’ve had when trying to follow other models that ultimately feel too prescriptive and rigid. Naomi Rose is offering a divine gift.”—Jane Majkiewicz, writer, editor, former literary agency associate; www.writeintuition.com
__________
“This book is brilliant! Naomi Rose has created a beautiful and useful product, which doesn't feel generic. The artwork really works—the graphics feel fresh and inspired. I finally get the author’s process when working with clients to form the Table of Contents. As I prepare to write my book, I feel this workbook will really help me.”—Dana Watt, Chaplain
