Story
Why do so many people talk about writing a book but never get the job done? Why do so many start books they never finish? And why is the final product often so much less than what editors and agents want? Because writing is a process, and no steps can be omitted without impacting the quality of the work. As best-selling author William Bernhardt explains, editing begins before you start writing and doesn't end until the book is in print (if then). This book guides writers through that process, explaining what's worth doing and when to do it.

Popular blogger Cal Newport reveals the new key to achieving success and true meaning in professional life: the ability to master distraction. Many modern knowledge workers now spend most of their brain power battling distraction and interruption, whether because of the incessant pinging of devices, noisy open-plan offices or the difficulty of deciding what deserves their attention the most. When Cal Newport coined the term deep work on his popular blog, Study Hacks, in 2012, he found the concept quickly hit a nerve.

A kick start to your writing
Having fallen into the state of a lapsed writer, allowing life to distract from following the creative muse, I found this book an inspiration, with the author's methods to better writing. Although I don't personally subscribe to the idea of mapping everything out before stating to scribing as if I know what's ahead for my characters, the whole creative importance drys up. But her earnest delivery has encouraged me to dust off half-finished projects and revisit them.

Brilliant conclusions on other self help books.
Anne Janzer successfully makes helpful conclusions on top of conclusions from other writing self help books.
I've read all of the other books she mentions in this book and her new view on their material are very clever.
So you could call what she does a meta-analysis and she does it very good.

concise summary of much research and good techniqu
I own a bunch of writing books and is the author notes in the later chapters it's not so much that all of this is brand-new is that it is concisely presented with the most recent research to explain why these techniques are valid and useful. I found her writing style to be concise Lively and supportive. I think the person reading this has a wonderful voice that reads pretty briskly it is one of the few books I've ever had to turn down to a lower rate on Audible but that's not a huge problem. solid recommendation to buy.

Super informative, great advices and to the point. I would definitely listen to at again while writing so that I can apply each thing. One point about the narration, the quality of the wasn’t ideal but it’s wasn’t bad at all.
I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about writing that has no experience like me because it will give you the big picture.
