Repetitive

Some good advice, but most of what the author says is already in some of her other books. What I don't like is how she takes the opportunity to promote these other books and her website several times. Also, I usually like her jolly personality and the way she smiles as she talks, but in this book, she appears to be the complete opposite. Very disappointed, but I still like her.

Some helpful advice

Overall, I enjoyed this less than I did the others I've listened to so far from Joanna Penn. Maybe some of the help and advice could have been condensed a bit, but overall I found it interesting and helpful. Great for anyone struggling to get the words on the page!

Another of my Go To Books

I have this one in my audio library and whenever I'm washing up I ask Alexa to play it to me. It's good whenever you need a boost of kick in the pants or hit a writing slump. I've been following Joanna's podcast for years and am a patron, but I got this book long before that. Great investment if you are considering a life as an author.

Wow

This book spoke to me on so many levels. I was having so many eureka moments listening to it, not to mention, when it talked about comparing yourself to other authors, which was something I did quite often. Fantastic audiobook, which Penn narrates well.
