The Stuck List Tool Kit

A topic at just about every virtual writers’ conference in 2020 has been how to write in a pandemic. How do we pull entertaining stories people will like out of imaginations overheating with every headline, each more dire than the last? Well, this book gives you ideas, some according to your personality. Like the process…

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.

You need to read this book. QTP: or do you? Yes, yes you do! Last year I was in a dark place and on the verge of giving up, when a friend suggested I read Dear Writer You Need to Quit. That book shone a light to show me the way out of where I…

I recommend This book for ALL writers whether you think you’re in burnout or not. It was so eye opening. If you are in burnout, it gives you the tolls to get out. If you’re headed that way, it gives you the tools to reduce the slide (and maybe prevent it altogether). And if you’re…

Becca Syme continues to hit it out of the park when it comes to solid, healthy, positive coaching advice for writers. I can’t recommend her books enough–they’re simply the best thing I’ve found out there in terms of fostering a beneficial author mindset while still offering practical tips and advice on how to how to…

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,…

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,…

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 book is like peeking behind the curtain to find the Great Oz manipulating stage craft. Burn out is serious, and what’s *behind* burn-out. It’s not depression. It’s something else. The author explains what it is and how it works.
