I am a writer not by profession but as this book reminded me by nature and also by necessity. After listening to Dani’s podcast Family Secrets, I am making my way both in print and online through all her published works. Still Writing touched me, captured my attention and turned me towards myself and my writing. The tone of the narration is wonderful to listen to and she portrays so much authenticity through voice. So very thankful for this book and will return often to it and to the notes I made while listening for reference as I continue to write.

Equal parts enjoyable and educational.
