Review: From a gal who can't get through her day without a checklist...

I am the type of person who confidently enters Woolworths with the express purpose of purchasing milk, bread and tissues and who emerges lugging $50 of groceries none remotely resembling milk, bread or tissues. I can't get by without a shopping list. And this deficiency of mind over matter carries over into my writing day.Like all her previous Busy Writer's books - and this is the 5th in the series! - I'm sure Marg McAlister wrote The Busy Writer's Book of Checklists expressly for me. Section 2 - Six Foundation Checklists for Writers - ideas, plot, characters, viewpoint, dialogue and scenes - I found especially helpful. Marg McA writes in such a way that we can't help feeling she is speaking directly to each of us. She shares with us her own work ethic and shows us how to attack our work efficiently and succinctly.Marg McAlister, I nominate you for the Busy Writer's Hall of Fame.
