Although the author teaches public speaking, every concept in his book is also applicable to writers.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reading this book helped me:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a title for a short story I\u2019ve written that best exemplifies the story\u2019s meaning.<\/li>\n<li>Re-design my business, by targeting and meeting the specific professional services that are most beneficial to my clients.<\/li>\n<li>Adopt a more focused and succinct style for both written and spoken communication.<\/li>\n<li>Decide to continue editing the non-fiction book that I began five years, by reimagining the point of the book.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although I don\u2019t remember how I came upon this book, I\u2019m certain that it was while reading a book about writing or editing since these are the topics of the books I currently read.<\/p>\n<p>When books pique my interest, I search for the titles on Amazon, download the Kindle samples, and promise myself to read them soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Indicative of my history of reviewing samples on my Kindle<\/strong>, it took over two months to read this one. Wanting to bop myself on the head for not reading it sooner and ordering it pronto because the words grabbed on and held my attention from the start, I surprised myself by the action I took.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t automatically order any of the formats offered: hardback, kindle or audio. While not expecting my local library to carry the book, I still checked. And I\u2019m so glad that I did. They only offered the audio version. Audio is perfect for me because I listen to Audible while I\u2019m at the gym, which is almost every day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finding out that the library didn\u2019t use Audible<\/strong>, I had to figure out how I could listen to it. I did, along with realizing that even before listening to this book it helped me by opening up another world to be able to listen to audio books.<\/p>\n<p>I ended each gym session arguing with myself as to whether to continue or stop listening. I wanted to continue listening, but not exercise. I thought about continuing to listen to the audio at other times throughout the day but decided against this, since listening to enlightening and powerful books while walking the track increases my alertness and my experience of being happy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listening to<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2GGBLDy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Get to the Point<\/em><\/a> <strong>was similar to a fine wine, and I wanted to savor it.<\/strong> It took me several days to complete. I felt disappointed when the book ended. I usually purchase either the print or audio version first and then later get the other format.<\/p>\n<h3>Audio and Print!<\/h3>\n<p>But with <em><strong>Get to the Point,<\/strong><\/em> I purchased both the audio and print editions. The audio gives me the opportunity to experience the speaker\u2019s elevating enthusiasm for this topic, while the print book helps me to concentrate on the many examples he offers.<\/p>\n<p>There are catch phrases from Schwartzberg\u2019s book that I think of while developing a story idea, writing a first draft, and preparing a pitch or editing. I\u2019ll share my favorite with you.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u201cDon\u2019t share your point. You need to sell your point.\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The author has helped me to understand that there is a huge difference between these two processes. I\u2019ve come to realize that while I\u2019m proficient in sharing my point,<strong> I need to learn how to sell my point.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Let me offer an example:<\/strong> Reading this book prompted me to change the message on my voicemail. It used to tell people what I did in general terms and invited them to call me.<\/p>\n<p>Now if you call me, you\u2019ll hear my name, my credentials and then, \u201cI believe any marriage can be saved by learning specific skills. I teach these skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Did you get my point?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I also feel that any speech, workshop or seminar I have the opportunity to give going forward will absolutely hit the mark of delivering my point because of what I\u2019ve learned in this book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As a writer, or a speaker, I have one job, and that is to make sure that I deliver my point(s) effectively.<\/strong> If the receiver doesn\u2019t get my point, I\u2019ve failed. Or if I think I\u2019m relaying a point, but instead I\u2019m sharing what is considered the theme, again I fail.<\/p>\n<p>The point of his book is to arm us with information and tactics by which we succeed at delivering our point(s). He definitely succeeds!<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<h2><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-21126\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/photoOct314-006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"186\" \/>Mary Van Everbroeck is a student at Barany School of Fiction and writes fiction and nonfiction.
