    Author, writing coach, and speaker Allison Fallon's life transformed when she discovered the power of a daily writing practice. As it turns out, using your words is one of the most powerful means you have for unlocking your life. The Power of Writing It Down is your guide to this transformative tool available to us all.

    • 5/5
      Godd stuff, some great suggestions and prompts for getting going wiyh writing.
    • 5/5
      Really touches the how and why to start journaling. The power to step outside yourself and direct your life.
    • 1/5
      Somewhat inspiring to just write -- but so much of it had secular and liberalism messaging.

      3.5 stars - I was a little disappointed with this book. For some reason it didn’t really click with me. It felt like a long blog post with very little actionable advice. But I see most reviews of it are 5 star, so obviously it has been helpful for a lot of people.
    • 4/5
      I’m not really sure about this book as there was much repetition and a bajillion anecdotes on why writing is so great, which I already know. I feel as though it’s written for people who have never thought about writing anything ever in their lives; since that’s not me, not much was gained here. Even though a lot of the read was boring to me, I appreciated the prompt about questioning and will be utilizing it.
