The Stuck List Tool Kit

This was recommended by a fellow writer and I devoured it in one sitting. Chock full of advice for the multi-tasking author who’s hitting a brick wall.

I needed this short little book by a writing coach. It’s easy to internalize what the big names in indie publishing are doing and think you somehow have to do it exactly the way they do to achieve any kind of success, even if it’s not what you’ve ever done and it doesn’t fit with…

This book examines the reasons why authors may be having trouble writing and not selling their books as well as they had hoped. The focus is on the stress of modern life, in particular during challenging times as we’ve seen in 2020 and 2021. Syme builds on the concepts from the other books in the…

Thing I love about Becca’s books, and especially this one, is that it feels like I’m sitting in a Starbucks having a conversation with her as a friend about my struggles with writing. There’s no guilt, no shame, just a lot of encouragement and challenging my negative thoughts. The only thing missing is a Venti…

WARNING – there is no magic bullet. Simply reading this book isn’t enough. You have to sit down and actually do the work. But the eye-opening illumination the first time you apply her technique will blow minds and rock worlds. Genius appears deceptively simple in hindsight.

Writer’s block is such a hard thing to talk about because most of the industry tries to pretend it doesn’t exist and that if you are blocked you clearly aren’t trying hard enough. But it’s not that simple and Becca not only realizes that, in this book she shows you the many different things that…

I love Becca’s Dear Writer books. I find them entertaining, encouraging, and incredibly enlightening. I have many forehead-slapping moments with each one. I’m a full-time mid-list author, meaning I spend a lot of time writing and writing just to keep my head above water. She really makes that journey more fulfilling.

You need to read this book. QTP: or do you? Yes, yes you do! Last year I was in a dark place and on the verge of giving up, when a friend suggested I read Dear Writer You Need to Quit. That book shone a light to show me the way out of where I…

If you’ve been to a writer’s conference, you’ve heard the aphorisms “You can’t edit a blank page” and “There’s no such thing as writer’s block.” But, as well-meaning as those presenters have been, they don’t know what works or doesn’t work for you and why some techniques don’t fit. One size, or one-liner of advice,…
