Review Quotes:
"The most common reason people don't write is the statement, 'I don't know what to write about.' Kristen Fogle's Dare To Write is full of so many clever ideas and jump-starts that reluctant writers will never utter that phrase again. It skillfully and humorously anticipates all of our excuses, and pulls us onto our own pages. Read it and write. I dare you." --Dean Nelson, Ph.D., director of the Writer's Symposium By The Sea and author of Talk To Me: How To Ask Better Questions, Get Better Answers and Interview Anyone Like A Pro
