I love audio materials and this one is one of the most excellent I've heard for aspiring writers.

There are two different people, one is Julia and the other Natalie. You will be greeted by personal stories and vingrette's. You are encouraged to draw your material from your own best resource...your
life. Through out living life you gain a wealth of knowledge and
can share it with others through writing.

I do highly recommend this audio book because as a woman, wife, and mom who has experienced alot of heartache, joy etc in life; when you pick up a book written from someone who's been there you just feel
that inner strength coming through. Then as a writer you can share your personal story in the way you made it through a situation or time and have the next person who picks up your book feel your
encouragement.

I listened to this mostly in the car whenever I was going anywhere. It was quite fun to listen to. I loved Julia's stories. They were unique, entertaining, and educational.

Her greatest lesson throughout the book is to appreciate what's already in your head - learn to be happy with what ideas you do have and put them to use rather than constantly searching for something different that very well may never come around.

Natalie is equally pleasant: kind, gentle, and enjoyable to hear from. Though Julia is the stronger presence, Natalie is the one you'll end up interested to hear from - her thoughts are intriguing and unique.

There is some great material from Julia and Natalie on this audio presentation! Though there aren't so many tips as actual personal stories, you'll still learn a lot. I certainly did.
