Diana’s October Book Review ~ The Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert ~ (Many eureka moments!)

Hey, what a wonderful gift from a friend, who just knew I would love it!

I’m so glad I have a copy in paperback, because I will definitely read it again, but also dip into it.

Timing was everything! So many occasions whilst reading The Big Magic I had eureka moments; laughed out-loud, exclaimed, nodded my head in affirmation or just sighed with joy. I even read out bits in bed, to my patient, but puzzled husband.

As an author, you often wonder where inspiration comes from. Elizabeth Gilbert has her own theory, but I’ll not divulge it to you 😉 She also explains that, once you have had this moment of inspiration, lots of coincidences brings it more into focus, as if nudging you to get on with it!

I’m so glad that doesn’t just happen to me!

If you are a writer, this book is a must. If you have a friend, niece, daughter or Mum who aspires to write, it would make a brilliant gift!

(I just loved The Signature of all Things too, but didn’t realise Elizabeth Gilbert was one and the same, famous for Eat Pray Love of course!)

My Next Talk at Kinghorn Library

Some of you may be a bit confused by the name change but Diggins is my married name, Diana Jackson is my penname but was also my maiden name. Most folks around here in Kinghorn know me as Diana Diggins.

Do pop into the library to reserve your ticket.
