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,…
In these days of rapid release and book-a-month publishing schedules, Becca slides in with some real talk: fast writing is not for everyone. That’s just one example of the many premises Becca rises up and challenges. This isn’t a book on what to do to reach publishing success. As she says, there’s no silver bullet.…
Becca’s third book is most likely the best one yet! I’m not yet a published author, but I’m so glad I picked up this book and her others. Not only does Becca’s writing makes me laugh (I love her geeky references and her great analogies/metaphors), but she gives advice in a really compassionate, yet honest…
Working through some real questions through this series and happy to have gotten to this book in particular. What can I take away from 2020? How can I serve my readers better? Such great questions I’ll be pondering. Definitely recommend!
I’m definitely questioning my premises after reading this book; for the first time, I feel like I can be an indie author on my own terms.

I really enjoyed all the books in this series, and this book is not an exception. I sent an excerpt to all of my friends about how stressful the industry is. I disagreed with her chapter on dictation, but it has been useful to explain river and train people to people for whom dictation doesn’t…
More great information from Becca about questioning the premise. You don’t need to do everything people are telling you to do. Consider whether it is right for your situation. Read the book for more information about the specific “must do’s” you may not have to do. What a relief.
I am devouring these ‘Dear Writer’ books like I need them to breathe! It’s so freeing to see there are so many ways to do things and the best way is the one that’s right for me. The personality science behind why something may or may not work for me is fascinating. Thank you for…
If you’re mentally and/or creatively exhausted. If you just can’t find that focus you know you have, especially when it comes to writing. If you know you’re pushing yourself too hard, but you also know you can’t stop…Go read the book. Now.
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.
