Great review, and it sounds like a great book. I'm stuck on Chapter 16 at the moment, and any good advice I can get at this stage aboutfear, procrastination and general idleness will be really welcome. I'd never have found this book without your review. Thank you! Great review, and it sounds like a great book.

Yay Anne! You won’t regret the purchase BUT!!! I refuse you to allow it to put off your October 15th start goal. I’ll be hounding you on the 15th to make sure you’ve started.

Writing about the books I love for people (aka writers) I believe will also truly love them is so much easier than trying to be the voice of reason for average book readers. I know, fear creates good reasoning. Maybe I will, eventually. :-)

Another book I can read about writing and postpone writing a little while longer. :>)<br/><br/>Great review! If your local paper is like ours, it doesn't pay much for book reviews but it pays some -- and you get free books. Just a thought!<br/><br/>Got to go click that link and buy that book now....

Great review! If your local paper is like ours, it doesn’t pay much for book reviews but it pays some — and you get free books. Just a thought!

Got to go click that link and buy that book now….

My own favourite, in a similar vein, is Julia Cameron's "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Right-Write-Julia-Cameron/dp/0874779375?tag=outlandagames-20" rel="nofollow">Right to Write</a>" where she deals with finding inspiration and motivation, dealing with rejection, and just living the writing life. <br/><br/>I've read "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Right-Write-Julia-Cameron/dp/0874779375?tag=outlandagames-20" rel="nofollow">Right to Write</a>" a number of times now - mainly when I've been struggling with my own writing - and I seem to take something different away from each each time. I'll have to look out for "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Word-Work-Surviving-Thriving-Writer/dp/1931229171?tag=outlandagames-20" rel="nofollow">Word Work</a>" now as well. That sounds like a great book.

I’ve read “Right to Write” a number of times now – mainly when I’ve been struggling with my own writing – and I seem to take something different away from each each time. I’ll have to look out for “Word Work” now as well.
