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 Dear Writer’s series, such as energy pennies, plate size, burnout, and questioning the premise. She gives readers the explanations they seek, showing how one’s individuality can be harnessed to release expectations and find success while facing adversity.
