Like a whack in the head and heart, reading 21 Reasons You Think You Don't Have Time To Write hurt because it is so true.  It is honestly a wake up call to writers who know full well that they must be writing more.I did not get past the third reason before just shaking my head and saying "my God I have been through this."No one asked me to write this review, and I almost did not even get the book.  I did though, and for that I am very glad.The writing is excellent quality.  It is not academic regurgitation, it is clearly a writer communicating from the heart about things which I imagine most writers go through, and may well be going through right now.Writers do not write as much as  they should for a variety of reasons.  Consider #1 You are letting people tell you that you should be doing other things with your time.  I don't know if it is jealousy, narcissism, pessimism, benighted simplicity, an absence of love and support or what, but I bet that the majority of writers reading this have gone through and felt that.I don't even want to go through the numbers, frankly it hurts too much.  Okay, that's how spot on this book is for writers who need a proper minded boost to do more and do their best.21 Reasons is a self help session for writers to actually get it done.  You will find yourself in the pages, and I believe that it will make a difference in your ability to write more.  I am a writer and have learned that we writers can not change others so we must learn to acknowledge things and focus on ourselves and our writing.  This book by Mette Ivie Harrison strikes right upon that and does so beautifully and successfully.A true self improvement book for writers getting it done.Fantastic writing and book Mette!  Every writer has experienced the issues you have written about, and for which you have presented solutions as well.  Truly a work of incredible value.SRW
