What Am I Reading Wednesday (11/8/2017)
It's time for the first What Am I Reading Wednesday post of November!
Title: "Rut-Busting Book for Writers"
Author: Nancy Christie
First Reading: Yes
Initial Impression: How awesome is this title?
Final Thoughts: Nancy has brought together a valuable writing tool based on her own experience and contributions from an impressive list of writers and bloggers.
When Nancy first told me about her latest publication, "Rut-Busting Book for Writers", I was immediately intrigued by the title. Rut-Busting! There was no mistaking what this book was going to be about.
Every writer knows the frustration of becoming stuck in a productivity rut. (Some more often than others, some less.) And we may not always know exactly how to climb back out again. It was one of Christie's initial points in the book that really held my attention: Identify the type of rut you are in.
She goes on to outline the three most common types of ruts writers can find themselves pulled into, and I quickly realized that I'd fallen head-first into all three of them at one point or another! I even found myself going back to re-read this section after I'd finished the book. (This is definitely a skill I want to master, call it an add-on to my goals for this quarter!) The ability to identify what is causing you to become bogged down with your writing can go a long way in helping you overcome it.
Christie goes on to tie in several other topics, including rejection, creating your ideal writing space, writing roadblocks, and building your repertoire of tools you'll use throughout your life as a writer. I won't give anything away though. Why? Because "Rut-Busting Book for Writers" is available right now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble!
