The Productive Writer Guidebook - PDF

Yearning to write but keep putting off starting? Or maybe you start out fine but then lose motivation and struggle to finish. Maybe you avoid your writing by inventing "important" tasks that you must do before you start.

You want to become the writer you dream of being and yet somehow another year rolls by and you're still not where you want to be - you've got the desire and the know-how - so what's going on?

I hear you, Writer, because I've been you.

I wrote this book to help you figure out where you want to be, the steps you need to take to get there - and what's getting in your way.

It's never been easier to put your work into the world and yet many writers don’t write as productively as they'd like to. They have the best intentions in the world but find themselves distracted, anxious about their work and deeply unsatisfied with their progress.

The Productive Writer Guidebook is an insightful, interactive book that helps you work through your priorities, quit procrastinating and build better writing habits - AND most importantly, figure out how you are getting in your own way.
