Kalinda's Reviews > 1000 Words: A Writer's Guide to Staying Creative, Focused, and Productive All Year Round

This has to my favorite book on writing that I've ever read. It's simple, to the point and damn inspiring. If you are a writer who has been in a terrible slump, a writer who would like to write more, someone who has always dreamt of being a writer -- this book for you. Some might find it's no-nonsense "Tony Robbins" style of motivation pollyanna-ish, but I found it to be wonderfully refreshing. Is it repetitive? Yes, but sometimes that's what we writers need! Because we know deep inside how to get out of our slump, but it's so helpful to hear the words over and over again -- just do it, go write. This book is also great because it showcases how all writers, no matter how many books they've published or awards they've won -- all writers struggle, all writers find writing hard, all writers get into slumps. There's also great practical advice as to how to ease back into a project, and how if you're not up 1000 words a day, even 100 might suffice, because something is better than nothing.
