Rosanne Bane

When I first read Around the Writer's Block: Using Brain Science to Solve Writer's Resistance by Rosanne Bane I remember thinking setting 15 minutes on an egg timer and forcing myself to write until the buzzer went off - and doing this consistently, every day - sounded like one of the silliest pieces of advice I had ever encountered. You can imagine how sheepish I felt when, after performing this simple ritual and finding such a wonderful sense of satisfaction as I watched the words I managed to get on paper grew each day and each week. Bane's book is packed with (seemingly) trivial tasks - but the exercises she assigns begin to build upon each other, and you are left wondering how you could have missed the value of what you were learning, albeit in baby steps.

Pick up a copy; I promise - it's well worth having in your personal library. I refer to mine again and again, whenever the urge to procrastinate hits!… (plus d'informations)

I won this book on Goodreads giveaway!!

I am so glad I won this book because it is so helpful in teaching you how to get past the everyday things that keep you from writing. It also teaches you how to focus and explains things in a basic format that is easy enough for even a beginner writer to understand. I have been wanting to write a book for a long time now. I have great ideas and have started the book several times then stopped. This book taught me how to stay on track with my writing so hopefully I can give away ARC's of my book in the near future.… (plus d'informations)
