After 20 years experience in the writing industry, author Colleen M. Story extends a lifeline to pull you out of the sinking swamp of "busyness" and back into the flourishing creative life you deserve.
Today's demands on writers and other creative artists are overwhelming. Not only must you produce the work you love, but build and maintain a platform and market your finished products to the world--all while holding down a day job and/or caring for a family.
You teeter on the edge. What waits on the other side are burnout, exhaustion, and a complete loss of creative motivation.

You'll find ways to boost productivity, improve time management, and restore your sanity while gaining insight into your unique creative nature and what it needs to thrive.
Ultimately, you'll discover what may be holding you back from experiencing the true joy that a creative life can bring.
In this motivational and inspiring book, you'll learn:
–Why you feel so rushed and how you can regain control of your time.
–Your unique "time personality" and how to use it to get more writing done.
–Practical steps to overcome distractions and focus faster.
–The 7 "productivity saboteurs" that plague creative artists and how to outsmart them.
–Your personal motivation style and how to use it to increase productivity.
–How to tap into your unconscious mind to find "writer solutions" when you need them.
–Why affirmations don't work and how to instill true belief in yourself.
–Why it's critical to your overall health and well being to nurture the creator within.
There's no reason to feel overwhelmed one moment longer. No matter how crazy your life is, you can find more time for your creative work, and start feeling more like yourself again.

Personal Opinion:
For a book that's only 200 pages, the claims sound outrageous, and perhaps I think I was expecting it to be a run-of-the-mill self help book. Instead I got a wonderful read on my hands that lives up to the promises and refuses to accept excuses about why and how people are not following their creative calling. The author uses scientific studies along with personal experiences to create a fascinating cocktail blend of a self help book that gets you thinking on the why and how and that should help you do the purported claims. There is also exploration from different angles about what might possibly be sabotaging the reader's creativity, and like the author claims, the book is not designed merely for writers but can be used by any creative person, so don't let the title fool you in other words.
