The 7 Secrets of the Prolific: How to Overcome Procrastination, Perfectionism, and Writer's Block

di Hillary Rettig (Autore)

Hillary Rettig, 2023

Can't finish your work? Can't start it? Missing deadlines and opportunities? The 7 Secrets of the Prolific has the solutions you need! In it, author Hillary Rettig shows how fear, scarcity, ambivalence, and other inner obstacles trigger a Disempowerment Cascade that can derail even the most dedicated writer. How perfectionism plays a more serious role in underproductivity than most writers realize. And how some criticisms and rejections can linger, hidden, for years and even decades, undermining your productivity. Then she shows you how to interrupt the Cascade, recognize and defuse the perfectionism, and recover from the criticisms and rejections all so you can return to your work as quickly as possible. She also shows you ways to boost your writing pace so you can get more done than you had ever imagined. Unlike the superficial and gimmicky solutions some other books offer, Hillary's are based on a new way of looking at yourself, your work, and the world. She developed her method over more than a decade of teaching at some of the country's premier literary and cultural organizations, including Mark Twain House & Museum, Grub Street Writers, and The Loft; and while coaching hundreds of successful creative, business, and academic writers. The 7 Secrets of the Prolific also features unique and timely sections on writing for the Internet (and coping with its hypercritical culture), and how to respond to the many clueless and/or challenging comments and questions people direct at writers (e.g., 'When will you get that thing done?'). And the section on Values-Based Time Management will help you reclaim time for your writing (and other priorities) you never knew you had. Whether you write for work, school, or fun, The 7 Secrets of the Prolific will help become the productive, fulfilled, and joyful writer you always wanted to be.
