This inspiring book helps writers learn to
avoid those negative things struggling writers
often say or think. This book lists 299 of this
things writers often say, although they shouldn't,
and lists what writers really should be saying in
place of these negative thoughts. For example,
instead of "I wish that my novel were already
written," a writer should think, "I am looking
forward to the experience of writing my novel."
And instead of thinking, "Maybe I could
self-publish, but that would feel like such a
failure," the writer should think, "Self-publishing
is no disgrace and sometimes it's exactly the
right answer. Self-publishing is an option." And
instead of "I would like to secretly kidnap and
torture a literary agent," a writer should be thinking,
"Literary agents represent projects that they think
they can sell. Nothing could be less mysterious
or more impersonal." The short thoughts can
help writers with motivation, time management,
writer's block, mis-information and positive think. Write Mind is a
good psychological booster for struggling writers.
