Among my favourite reviews of From Writing With Love, is this one from Jackie – “A friend once told me that my cakes would improve if I baked them with love. Hard to achieve when you just aren’t feeling it with that wooden spoon, yet I certainly felt all the love in Avril Joy’s cream cake of a book. It’s not just her own passion for her craft that makes it such a treat, but also her empathy and respect for all fellow writers. She is open and unguarded throughout, a feature that draws you in, and like any good mentor she’s right by your side. The quotes from other writers are a delight, but best of all was discovering ‘The Problem of Perfect’. Perfectionism does not explain my reluctance in the kitchen (that’s more about disinterest) but it does explain why I mess about so much as a writer. Thank you Avril for telling it with love. May you long stay by my side.”
Part Two is up today. You can find it by clicking on the From Writing With Love, tab in the menu at the top of this page. (When you get there you need to scroll down, as it follows on from Part I)
Off out now for my walk and then to my renga diary
