The Stuck List Tool Kit

This is one of the best non-fiction books I read so far. Not that I’ve read a lot of non-fiction books, but I’ve been reading more of them since this year and this one really stood out for me. One of the main reasons this one stood out to me is that something about this…

This book is blowing my mind. It’s taken me a while to figure out how to describe what Becca does because it’s not like anything else but I think I finally nailed it. It’s like sports psychology for writing. And it really works.

Becca takes the “you do you” mantra further making it “you do the best you.” Instead of willy nilly adopting systems and processes that work for other writers, she encourages the reader to dig deep into their personality, environment, platform, resources and patterns to determine what, as an individual, makes a person’s writing process work…

An experienced writing coach helps you better align your own skills and personality with what can work for you as a self-published author, despite all the conventional wisdom that may have you feeling utterly inadequate because you’re not outlining, dictating, and publishing 20 books a year and killing it on Instagram while making enough to…

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.

Something has been missing from my writing soul for several months. I tried to press on, but I missed two deadlines and could barely force myself to work through my editor’s line edits. Burnout. Or maybe the slide. This book, and the associated videos on Syme’s QuitCast channel, will help you identify what is contributing…

Okay everyone out there looking for the easy way to success…this isn’t it, but I will tell you that this book is the beginning of changing your life for the better. I’ve been working with Ms. Syme for quite a while now off and on for a few years. She not only is 100% the…

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…

Becca comes in with some real talk. I’ve read all the books in this series, and this one is very like the other ones. It was a hard year for everyone, and she has action steps to get beyond the funk we’re all in after a doozy of a year.

I really appreciated the multifaceted approach this book takes to Writer’s Block, including highlighting when writer’s block is a normal part of the writing process. It’s helpful to know different causes for writer’s block and how to confront them. Another great read in this series!
