Really Juicy! an inspiration for writers and creators alike - By: F. Anderson, 21 Aug 2008
This book is anotherin a long list of wonderfully inspriring books by SARK: Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy. This one is about creative writing & how to do your own, how to start, how to carry on, how to delight yourself with your writing. SARK has a charming & positive way of saying the truth simply: that nothing is holding us back from developmentin any direction but ourselves, & possibly one or two coincidental things like weather & "crabbiness" as she puts it. In other words, all our human-ness. All her books are writtenin gorgeous full colour as if the author has opened up a blank book & simply filled the pages with words & drawings using coloured felt pens. It makes one want to do the same, just holding the book, let alone reading its wisdom! I particularly love,in this book, where Susan says, as a creative writing suggestion "decide not to write: take the day off: go to see some films- just before you go, note down what you want to write when you return. (this often leads to lots of writing)". Its a great book to open at random and, as with all SARK books, I can genuinely say I wouldn't be the same person I am now without them. Heres a tip: get a packet of juicy marker pens (Crayola are my favourites) along with the book- you'll be dying to start!
