“Equal parts motivation and inspiration . . . Bite-size, easy-to-read chapters coach new writers through everything from imposter syndrome to writer’s block.” —The Writer

I Should Be Writing is everything you’d hope to find in a writing workshop, condensed into one highly effective journal. It’s time to stop dreaming about what you want to write and finally do it!

Let award-winning podcaster Mur Lafferty, who in the past has interviewed authors including John Scalzi, Neil Gaiman, Gail Carriger, Adam Christopher, and Kameron Hurley, guide you through the nuts-and-bolts process of honing your craft, including which writing myths to ignore, how to refine your creative process, listening to your inner muse while ignoring your inner bully, and more.

This book also contains writing exercises that will help the blossoming writer strengthen the writer’s muscle of writing every day. These include everything from situational writer’s prompts to lists of ideas writers should try to jot down between writing sessions.

With this helpful guide, you can make the phrase, “I’ve always wanted to write a story . . .” a thing of the past. Because you should be writing!

She has interviewed several notable authors including John Scalzi, Neil Gaiman, Gail Carriger, Adam Christopher, and Kameron Hurley. The show reaches more than 8,000 listeners each week. Mur has been a podcaster for 11 years and has won the Podcast Peer Award and three Parsec Awards. She is also the winner of the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer and of the Manly Wade Wellman Award. In 2015 she was inducted into the Podcaster Hall of Fame. She has hosted and/or created shows for Tor.com, Lulu, and Angry Robot Books, as well as created several of her own shows, like Geek Fu Action Grip and I Should Be Writing. Her newest show, Ditch Diggers, looks at writing from a business point of view.

Help! My kindle copy did not have writing prompts?!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 31 May 2018

Verified Purchase

I liked this book but it is very short for the price. My main complaint is that my kindle copy did not contain any writing prompts, the last chapter said there would be writing prompts and then went on straight to the acknowledgements! Amazon you need to look at this!

I got the ebook version and the writing prompts ARE included (just mentioning it as I saw another review saying they weren’t there. Someone has fixed it now!) I enjoyed this book, and I will look back on my highlights in future to remind myself of important points. It was a good read for getting me back on track, which is what I love about the ISBW podcast also. Kind of like having a virtual writing mentor!
