The Stuck List Tool Kit

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.

Some books try to give readers all the right kind of answers. Dear Writer, Are You in Writer’s Block? does better and helps you learn what sorts of questions to ask so you can find your own answers because, after all, we’re so different, one answer may be the right answer for one person and…

I am a big fan of all Becca’s ‘Dear Author’ books. Unfortunately, she’s right. The calendar may have turned over, but the pressures writers are facing today are just as intense (if not more) than they were in 2020. If you are a writer struggling with productivity, I cannot recommend this book heartily enough.

Becca Syme has a knack for saying things that aren’t always fun to hear, but boy, are they useful. If this book had been around a few years back, I’d have saved some time and grief. I also love Syme’s sense of humor.

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…

So my kid asked me, are you questioning HER premise? Yep, I am, and so far, Becca Syme has proven a credible source that I can learn from. Loved the first book, Dear Writer, You Need to Quit” despite my initial reaction. She was right, not only are there things I need to quit, but…

This is hands down the best advice for writers I’ve encountered in five years of pursuing traditional publishing and eight more of being an indie author. Much of what Becca says about the publishing industry and human behavior are things I felt were true at a gut level but had no way of proving. It…

I didn’t pick up this book because I thought I was blocked. Frankly, I’ll read anything Becca publishes. I was a burned out writer, thinking maybe I should quit writing when I first picked up Dear Writer, You Need To Quit (QuitBooks for Writers Book 1). The laugh was on me, though, because quitting (writing,…
