Why do you find it so hard to sit down and write when that is what you have always dreamed of doing? That question has haunted writers since the invention of words. The answer? It begins with this. "Writing isn't selfish, it isn't lazy, it isn't indulgent, and it isn't a waste of time or energy." That's the message that writers need to hear when their passion for writing wanes in the face of what often seems like nonstop resistance from life, the universe, and everything. With empathy and humor, this book provides a kind of tent revival for writers, helping them to jump start their writing again. More of a why-to than a how-to, this book nonetheless provides practical tips-some of them unorthodox-on what writers can try when they find more and more excuses not to sit down at their desks and do the work they used to love. If you're slogging through a creative drought, this little book may provide just the inspiration you need.
