Finishing School: The Happy Ending to That Writing Project You Can't Seem to Get Done
Author: Cary Tennis & Danelle Morton
What is the book about as a whole?
The book is about the method that helps writers to overcome the emotional pitfalls and keep making progress with their writing projects.
What is being said in detail, and how?
The authors listed out the emotional pitfalls (6 of them) and how to overcome them with a system that has accountability without sharing your work with another writer. It is about encouraging one another to finish the project and help you finish your writing project.
Is the book true, in whole or in part?
It is true that emotions can influence and sometimes stops a writer. the book presents some ways to create schedules, and handling time and tasks, to complete the writing work. One of the suggestion is to do the tasks that are a drag to you first, and I find that to be untrue for me. I have to start the day with tasks that bring me joy, confidence, and a sense of accomplishment, before I can muster up enough energy to do something that is dreadful to me.
Why does the author think it is important to know these things?
Too many authors have unpublished work and stories that could be helpful to the world, and the authors want these writers to use the program to help them get through the hurdles.
Impressions
I felt that the book talked about the topic quite a bit before getting into the structure. If the reader is a type of a person that want to know frame works, start at the last section of the book.

Writers or anyone who has a writing project that has stalled
