Many aspiring writers I know asks: "How do you write a book?" And successful authors will tell you to just start writing like you're fighting for your life. In "Transformed by Writing" Robert Hammond says the same thing, however he adds that you need a plan for writing if you're serious about making your book a bestseller.Hammond answers that age-old question: "Is writing hard?" Not only does he provide the answer, he also offers his expert advice using examples to show you what it takes to become a bestselling author. When you read the book you get the how-to, and the takeaway that anyone who has the desire can write a book.You'll find Hammond's exclusive interviews with A-List radio talk show hosts inspiring as he discusses his experience in life and how it lead to writing. If you want to become a writer he shows you how to get there too. I found admirable how the author was capable of identifying a writer's strengths and weaknesses with a few simple self-test questions. And how he contrasts famous visionary authors of the bible to famous writers of modern time, one being Cecil B. DeMille producer of "The Ten Commandments." Hammond followed DeMille's playbook to launch his own successful writing career.Hammond draws you into the story with his impressive and compelling personal narrative of his own life, which was no walk in the park. He takes you on his writing journey from prison to pardon, and he's not holding anything back. The beauty of this story is that it leads somewhere, bestselling books. His roadmap to writing will help you organize your thoughts and get them on paper to "I'm published."As someone who hosts interviews [#WritersKaboodle] on social media, I think "Transformed by Writing" will fulfill many of your curiosities about writing. I highly recommend reading this book if you are an aspiring writer who needs inspiration to get started, or a well-seasoned author who needs a little motivation from time-to-time.
