There's something about this nonfiction book that made me feel like I was on an adventure. An adventure through the trials of a passionate man and the firm foundation to support his journey. Though I took several days to read it, I can assure you it was only because of my limited time. This colorful and conversationally toned book moves along quickly. I couldn't help but wonder what experience (and wisdom) would appear through the next moment in the Write Dad timeline.If you're anywhere along your own passion journey and are at a plateau or slowing point, then I would like to personally (and highly) recommend this book to you. Though I wouldn't classify this work as self-help, I definitely chalk it up to being a highly inspirational and motivational piece.Seeing how Sean and Cindy (and later the kiddos!) make their way through Rainbows and ghettos, while chugging away on the writer-equivalent of slave-labor wages, is a real grounding experience. Anyone expecting the path to true entrepreneurship (or becoming a successful writer specifically) to be a walk in the park... well, here's a man who's done it and it is certainly no set-it-and-forget-it path.This book is a great reminder that we all need an inner passion to focus our efforts on something bigger, that we all need to keep moving forward no matter the outcomes, and that we all need a great support system (Cindy sounds like an amazing woman!) to keep us from hitting rock bottom when we're closest to the edge.You don't have to be a writer to enjoy Writer Dad. You don't have to be a dad to enjoy it either. You just have to be someone who wants something so much that nothing will stop you and are looking for a story to reassure your path. Sean's done it, you can to, you just have to find the right words to get there.
