Eric's Reviews > Firefly Magic: Heart Powered Marketing for Highly Sensitive Writers

As a writer myself, "Firefly Magic" has been one of those books I've been looking for for a long time. Lauren Sapala really hits the nail on the head with several points when it comes to marketing. It's especially helpful to the four I's: intuitive and introverted and to those who fall under the Myers-Briggs spectrum of INFJ and INFP.

It took me a long while to read "Firefly Magic". I first tried it last year and only read the first two chapters before I put the book away. Yet something was tugging at me and starting in late August, I took it off the shelves with a new perspective, and I'm glad I did.

Since "Firefly Magic" has 24 chapters (and three sections), I divided it into thirds. One for reading, highlighting and scribbling my thoughts and underlining and circling the important words. Two, for answering the questions at the end of each chapter. And finally, three, to type the questions and my answers onto a Word document. (Still have to write and type in my answers for Chapters 22 and 23; there aren't any questions to ponder over in the last chapter.)

Sometimes I'd skip ahead a few chapters and highlight important details or even answer a question or two when it was still fresh in my head. I felt it helped want to press on reading Lauren's book. I recognized certain points she made in the book that not many people would either go through or understand. Lauren mentions how our concepts and products don't need to be perfect--just "pretty damn good". That is one of a few ideas she tells us.

Lauren Sapala tells us about her trials and tribulations (and triumphs) as she plodded through to accomplish her dream to become an author who has plenty to offer her readers. She also has number of recommended readings listed in this book. I know that I'll be looking for a couple of those books soon at my local library. I've already recommended "Firefly Magic" to both Write Clubs I belong to and will try to push myself to finish a couple of books I presently have in the works.

Thank you, Lauren, for publishing "Firefly Magic". I can't wait to read more of your books.
