Customer Reviews

Just the motivation I needed!
The advice in this book was a kick in the pants to a procrastinator like me. It made me realize that the secluded cabin to write in wasn't going to happen, and that most successful authors struggle with time to write just like me! Some of the advice is practical and almost common sense, but good to hear just the same! This book gets a thumbs up from me!

A Quick and Informative Read
I read most of this within one sitting and found it quick and easy to read. Don't let the name fool you: yes, you will learn proven strategies for fitting writing time into a busy schedule. You will learn how some famous and successful authors make writing work for them. But you will also learn so much more - how to create an action plan for your writing; how to balance writing with your family life; etc. It's a good read.

An inspiring and practical book for all writers
Time to Write is a must read for aspiring writers and, indeed, anyone who wishes to grow and improve writing skills-- and to deal with problems common to all writers such as getting started, finding a time and place to write, and writer's block. As writers ,we wish this valuable, well written and inspiring book had been available to us when we started years ago.
