This is an excellent book that all writers should read, particularly those who feel they are struggling and need some encouragement. The book is all about recognising what kind of writer you are and changing your behaviour by assessing what works for your writing practise and what doesn’t. It aims to help you to break down and overcome writing blocks and problems and it does a fantastic job in achieving this.

In this book you will learn about breaking the rules and doing your own thing, time management, setting goals, getting started, facing challenges, building resilience, and setting and maintaining writing habits, to mention just a few of the topics that are covered here. It is written in an easy to read, friendly style and is full of actionable tips and advice to help you succeed as a writer. There are plenty of examples of how other writers have overcome their struggles and we also get an insight into the authors themselves and how they have overcome challenges in their writing careers. This is a real gem of a writing book that will be a real help to many.

I recommend this book to all writers: beginner and professional and everyone in between. There is a lot of straightforward advice here that will help everyone to improve their craft and become better, more productive writers.
