Grit for the Oyster, by Suzanne Woods Fisher, et al.

Welcome to today’s stop on the blog tour of Grit for the Oyster, by Suzanne Woods Fisher, Debora M. Coty, Faith Tibbetts McDonald, and Joanna Bloss!

Grit for the Oyster: 250 Pearls of Wisdom for Aspiring Writers is a book designed to give Christian writers encouragement throughout the writing process. The book is divided into four sections: (1) Getting Started. Should I? Can I?; (2) The Joyful Grind; (3) I Give Up! Too Many Rejections; and (4) Getting “It” Right: The Proper Perspective. Each “pearl of wisdom” consists of a thought, a prayer, a reflection, and some quotations. My favorite pearl is called “Rock Collecting” and recommends keeping “stones” or physical representations of accomplishments to help you get through hard times.

There are lots of good quotes and resources here. In fact, it would lend itself well to use as a kind of daily devotional – though it would work better if each of the 250 pearls were numbered.  The book design is a little amateurish and there are some typos, but this is well-intentioned book that I would recommend for nondenominational Christian writers.
