Your book is helping me move along with writing every day. Because I love to read about food and wine, sometimes I get prompted by someone's else's story that jars a relative memory for me. I find it so easy to write about that memory. Most of the time tho, I think no one would really like to read this, would they??

I have been savoring “Will Write for Food” for a few months now--chock full of info, tips and, yes, those end-of-chapter prompts. Highly recommend!

I recently picked up a copy of Will Wrote for Food as my favorite things in life include cooking, writing, and reading ( about food or not!). Thank you for the writing prompts!

Thank you for the prompts in writing. Sometimes I'm not sure what to write about or what my 'voice' is. I look forward to reading your book!

Hey…quick reply just to say I likes the range of this post. I found you via @KitchenBeard and his stack. And to say Elizabeth David is not forgotten here. I still have my mother’s editions and still use them. She’s an imperious writer, isn’t she. I always feel she’s watching me a little critically de haut en bas. But, I also feel she knows so deeply and really loves both the whole cooking thing and the writing of it. For me, for everyone I guess, with cookery books, the writing is as valuable as the recipes.

These writing prompts are very insightful. It's easy to stick to what you're used to. Addressing the fear of writing can lead to growth.
