Instead, it teaches something far more valuable: How to think the right way. And more than that, the author shows you how to apply that thinking to all the practical aspects of an indie writer’s life. And anyway, most “how to” books are of limited use. They may show you how to publish your book, and impart some marketing tips, but most of them will only show you one path – which may or may not be suitable for you. This book teaches you how to find your own path. Scott Nicholson takes a philosophical approach to the writer’s life. Success, for him, is defined by happiness, not sales, ranking, or money. This book is a guide to increasing your professional happiness as a writer. If that all sounds a little Deepak Chopra to you, don’t worry, there is no New Age BS or anything like that. It’s a blueprint for finding out what your own personal writing goals are, and how to achieve them without feeling like a huckster. I read this in about 24 hours, which is the first time I can say that about a non-fiction book – usually I dip in and out of them over time, but this was genuinely gripping. The tone is confident without being pushy, and wise without being “knowing”. The author makes some points which might initially seem counter-intuitive, but he backs them up with logic and by drawing on his extensive experience as a journalist, freelancer, trade published writer, and indie author. People talk about thinking outside the box. Scott Nicholson lives outside the box, and this book is all the richer for it. Do yourself (and your career) a favor – buy this book. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. |
