Amazon.com Review
The Observation Deck is kind of like an I Ching for writers. At an impasse in your essay or novel? Looking for a new approach or even merely a warm-up exercise? Simply pluck a card from the deck, refer to the appropriate section in the accompanying book, and go with it. Each card--there are 50--is accompanied by a meditation on its subject by Naomi Epel, whose own warm wisdom is supplemented by that of the hundreds of writers she has met in her role as a book-tour escort in San Francisco. For the card labeled "Get specific," for example, Epel calls upon eight writers in the space of a two-and-a-half-page rally against the vague and superficial. Among them is Gabriel García Márquez, who advises, "If you say that there are elephants flying in the sky, people are not going to believe you. But if you say that there are four hundred and twenty-five elephants in the sky, people probably will believe you." --Jane Steinberg
Review
Why anyone would want to give away the secrets of our profession is beyond me--but now someone has, and if I were a budding scribe, I would rush to get this book into my ink-stained paws. Andrei Codrescu, author of The Blood Countress
What an ingenious solution to writer's block, from which I suffer once or twice a day. Pulling a card from The Observation Deck is the perfect remedy when I'm feeling stumped, resistant, puzzled, discouraged, or unclear about the work ahead. Sue Grafton, author of B is for Burglar

Innovative tool for right-brained, attention-deficit scribes
By A Customer
I don't read software manuals. I also don't take much to lengthy, sequential how-to tomes. And I certainly don't have the patience for most of the windy, eliptic BS that passes for writing advice these days.
I'm like a lot of people who sling words for a living, I think. Right brained, non-linear, and intuitive. (Or as my better half would put it: illogical, disorganized, and flaky.)
Imagine my curiosity when I read about THE OBSERVTION DECK...and then my delight when it turned out to be as downright useful as I suspected it might be.
Do what I just did. Take the leap and get this book. Yank a card...any card...and feel those tenuous abstract notions take perceivable form. Maybe not right away...but the subconscious river will be flowing a little more freely...and productively.
A very cool way to hammer writer's block. Expend a minute or a few hours. What works for those more renowned others seems to work for me...somehow.
I'm guessing that it will for you too.

An invaluable tool
By Daniel Swensen
I'll make this brief: after struggling with writer's block, lack of inspiration, and listless attempts at writing for months, I picked up The Observation Deck in the hopes that it might jump-start my creative fires. The same night I opened it up and read the book, I sat down and penned three thousand words, with ideas for many thousands more swimming around in my head.
I have a feeling I'll soon be wondering how in the world I got along without this little deck of cards. I wholly recommend this deck if your creativity is suffering, you need a fresh perspective, or just want to put a new spin on your writing. I have found it to be an invaluable tool -- some of the best money I've spent in quite a while.
