- I expect every reader will have their favorites - some of mine were "Eye On The Why"; "Fence Yourself In"; "Fire The Editor," and "Tell Me A Story." One can learn from Anne's fine work even if one is not stuck. Ed Hess, Professor Emeritus, Darden School of Business, University of Virginia

- Disruptions in my routine are hell on my writing life. So, I'm proactively turning to Anne Carley's book FLOAT. She writes about the tension writers face between their need for connection and time alone with their projects. Often, it's the tension between these poles, or an imbalance between them, that causes stuckness. Lisa Cooper Ellison

- I might just flip it open at random to choose one of the exercises/tools just for the heck of it and to keep the writing muscles limber. Also, there's a terrific section of inspirational quotations in the back. Clifford Garstang

- An amazingly organized, easy to follow "tool kit" for all aspiring writers, helping one to navigate through the fog of one's own distractions and insecurities. Terry Samala de Guzman

- FLOAT in Anne Carley's hands is a wonderful key to a whole system of helpful tools, insights, and strategies to get you over that initial (and often repeating) hump. Highly recommended for budding, unpublished, and published authors alike! David Clive Price

- FLOAT is a book filled with magic presented in the form of tools. I had a hard time thinking of anyone who would not benefit from this book - artist, engineer, or manager. The gentle, wise guidance offered to readers is not only helpful, it is a delight to read. Jeanne Schlesinger
