Okay, people, here's the drill. You want to know if you should quit writing or not. If you want someone to tell you to quit writing, let me save you the time. Yes, you should quit. There. Now. Do you want my real advice? This book is my real advice. Of course, you could still click away, and go about your business. Or buy the book and see if I'm right. Up to you, Neo. Red pill or blue pill?If you're here, you're probably a writer. I'm a coach of writers. Wanna see what I have to say? Great. The price of admission is a promise to me. You promise me, when you buy this book, that you're going to do the work. You're going to read it. You might not quit writing, but you will quit something.Read my bio if you're unconvinced. I've coached a lot of successful people and I'm not here to play. This is the big leagues. I don't pull punches, and I'm not your friend. I want you to succeed, and that means there will be some work. But you can do this, dear writer. I know you can.

Dear Writer, You Need to Quit

I know what you're feeling right now... Chances are good, if you clicked on this title, you're confused, frustrated, overwhelmed... maybe even angry. Not because I know something about you personally. Not because I'm spying on you, or I've re-programmed your Alexa or Siri to dictate your conversations to me and keep them on my hard drive. No. I know what you're feeling, because it's the same thing we're all feeling right now. How do I know this? Because I have coached thousands of writers. Six- and seven-figure authors, major award winners, midlisters, and new authors alike. And there are patterns to what writers think and feel about our careers and our books. Those patterns are why I'm here, writing to you. If you are overwhelmed, tired, frustrated with your career or your sales... if you're stuck or stalled... come and join me inside these pages, and we'll talk about why. Why is key. We've got this. It's tackle-able. Let's get you out of this pit. - Becca

Dear Writer, Are You In Burnout?

Dear Writer, It's 2020

I know what you're hoping...You've got goals and hopes that have pushed you this far in your writing career. It might be "to make a full-time living" or it might be "to get my books in the hands of readers", but whichever side of that continuum you fall into, there's something worthwhile about this pursuit for you.But it's not happening the way you thought. And you're not quite sure why.You're pretty sure there's something wrong with you, or you're doing something you shouldn't be doing. You might have tried some of the things "everyone" says to try and it's just not happening the way they promised it would.Why?You're wondering why you're not actualizing your goals or hopes the way you thought you would. Well, I can tell you why, because I have coached thousands of writers. Six- and seven-figure authors, major award winners, midlisters, and new authors... all across the spectrum of success, method, and personality. The good news is, there are patterns to the way our brains think, and you are both refreshingly unique and also thankfully just like other people in a way that makes your thoughts and fears very normal. We want to dig into those and figure out what's not working for you and why.In other words, you're in the right place. Join me inside these pages to figure out what you're doing wrong, and how to fix it.-Becca

Dear Writer, You're Doing It Wrong

Writer's block. I mean, it's not the world's sexiest topic, right? In fact, I have no doubt it will go largely unnoticed, becuase let's face it, no one wants to talk about this. But that's why it's so important to talk about it.Writer's block is basically the whispered sin in the halls of authordom.But is it?I'm an author and a coach of authors, and I hope you'll join me, if you think this book is for you. If you struggle with writer's block, or think you do, then at least take a look inside and see if this book is for you.I think it might be.

Dear Writer, Are You In Writer's Block?

Susan Bischoff

When you "just know" how a story should go... When you "have a feeling" about how that ad should run... When you "get overwhelmed" by columns of data or the idea of running numbers... Those are all types of intuition. Intuition, commonly misunderstood as being primarily driven by emotion, is actually a very quick ability to pattern-read, and is based in information-gathering that's done so quickly, you're not even aware you're doing it. But... if you're intuitive (about certain things only, or about everything), you can't use concrete or linear decision-making strategies. You might not be able to outline. You might not be able to plan in concrete terms. You might not be able to run those numbers. So, what does that mean for you? How do you go about understanding the intuitive brain you have? This book is written by two coaches who have worked with thousands and thousands of writers, many of whom are "intuitive" in some way. Because we've noticed patterns in how these authors make decisions, and in how process can work in an intuitive way, we wanted to share this book with you. Inside this book, you will find: * the five types of intuition (and how to tell if you have them) * the most common patterns of intuitive writers (and how to cope/strategize with that difference) * the difference between running ads as an intuitive, and running ads as a concrete * guidance for running an intuitive-decision-making business (especially as an entrepreneur) * when not to trust intuition * and so much more... If you resonated with any of the first three questions (even if you didn't resonate with all of them), we hope this book will help to provide some context around why you're functioning the way you are, and some guidance for how to be the most successful version of yourself. When you "just know," and no one trusts that, you learn not to trust it. We're here to help save your intuition from a world that doesn't understand it. To help you wield this superpower.

Dear Writer, Are You Intuitive?

Not selling? Not writing? Wondering what you're doing wrong? What if you were doing it right...?Selling is hard and the year of 2020 has been hard. So when we're faced with all the difficult parts of the life of the professional writer, we can have a lot of questions. Why am I not selling? Why am I not writing? What's wrong with me?Becca Syme, author success coach, has coached more than 5000 writers, and she has a message for you, dear writer: there's a possibility you're not doing anything wrong. Even if you're not selling. Even if you're not writing. There's a good possibility, the answer to "what am I doing wrong" is: "nothing."Maybe, just maybe, you're doing it (or at least most of it) right.
