There's a mantra that real writers know but wannabe writers don’t. And the secret phrase is this:

NOBODY WANTS TO READ YOUR SH*T.

Recognizing this painful truth is the first step in the writer's transformation from amateur to professional.

From Chapter Four:

“When you understand that nobody wants to read your shit, you develop empathy. You acquire the skill that is indispensable to all artists and entrepreneurs—the ability to switch back and forth in your imagination from your own point of view as writer/painter/seller to the point of view of your reader/gallery-goer/customer. You learn to ask yourself with every sentence and every phrase: Is this interesting? Is it fun or challenging or inventive? Am I giving the reader enough? Is she bored? Is she following where I want to lead her?"

Best writing book I've ever come across

If you liked the War of Art and Turning Pro, this one is a must read. The last chapter alone is worth the price.

Excellent as ever

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 March 2021

Another writing/creativity get-up-and-do-it how-to book from Pressfield, this time focused on lessons learned along the way as a novelist, screenwriter, as an advertising creative, and as a motivational writer. The most important lesson is in the book's title: others focus on the twin imperatives of theme and story to any form of writing. Excellent as ever: the trick is to now go and do it, of course.

I've enjoyed reading this book

I've enjoyed reading this book, it's given me some great pointers on how to go about constructing my own text. Whether thats for short social media pieces or longer blog posts. I like the way it has been written too, easy to pick up and learn.

Great read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 October 2016

Verified Purchase

Excellent book. Read it in one sitting. Short and punchy, many things to learn. In summary, I would say its message is - keep at it, always learning & moving forward, don't care so much for the odds of success but care a great deal for the craft. Act, try, fail, learn, act, try, fail, learn, repeat again and again till you die. Oh, and if you are lucky enough to succeed, continue with the act, try theme anyway. That is life, or more like, that is the fun in life.

Poor print quality

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2022

Great book but poor print-on-demand quality from Amazon. What a shame! I have Pressfield's 'The War of Art' (also Amazon print-on-demand) and the text there is MUCH darker and sharper. C'mon Amazon!
