Welcome to the Writer's Life: How to Design Your Writing Craft, Writing Business, Writing Practice, and Reading Practice by Paulette Perhach

5.0

This is probably one of the best books I’ve ever read for writers. Paulette has this amazing blend of practical advice with some tough love. I wish I could just have this book in my rotation on a daily basis because, throughout the entire book, I was motivated to write. Paulette gives the reader a realistic look at what it takes to be a writer without sugar-coating what the writer’s life is like. This book helped me get over my issue of being butthurt when my freelance pitches are shut down or not responded to because Paulette reminds you regularly that the two things that make a great writer is to write a lot and read a lot. Since reading this book, I’ve been writing more than ever. She also provides tips and tools to get rid of distractions and develop a routine, and she also provides some great book recommendations. I’ll definitely be reading this book again, and I may even read it a couple of times each year for motivation.
