Common Sense but a good reminder

When this started off, I had the impression I had been roped into going to the newest self-help seminar. That charismatic speaker with a few well place, "...I know you may not want to hear this but I will tell this for the three people who do...", wink, wink comments. I hung in there anyway. I do not regret it. There are many common sense ideas and points about building habits, removing negative roadblocks, and realistic baselining of ideas. Though they are common sense, does not mean a reminder was a bad thing. I finished the book with a desire to listen a second time and pay more attention to the actions and exercises.

Ryan Kennard Burke did a great job of conveying the text. His delivery was, as mentioned, a charismatic telling that engaged the listener.

This is not going to be fore everyone--no book is. Listen to the sample, try it out yourself.

habit forming

when ever I finish a self help book I always reflect, did it change my life? And the answer is usually no. because a book can not change your life only you can change your life. However, lifelong writing habit has come the closest to actually giving me the tools to do so. I especially love the extra mile he's gone to explain the psychology of habits and apply it specifically to writing. I conf as that knowing why something is hard makes me more inclined to overcome it.

I also appreciate the way he has compiled the exercises into one chapter at the end of the book for easy reference.

did this book motivate me? yes. but more importantly it makes me want to stay motivated.

The narrator Ryan kennard Burke is a great speaker. he brings life to this non fiction book and reads it in a way that made me want to keep listening, rather than tune it out as background noise.

straightforward auggestions

I read tons of self-help books. I have read many in this genre of how to write, write faster, continue onward and so forth.

This book is a keeper because it gives practical straightforward advice and illustrations. The bottom line is you have to make a decision to write and find the time by manipulating your day. Like all books it tells you to track your writing and make goals. The author makes it clear that it is up to you and if you want to succeed you will take the time even if it is 5 minutes a day.

I enjoyed the narrator and the subject matter very much. It is an encouraging book but at the same time it is one where it is on me and not on anyone else. I have done most of the exercises and plan to continue to implement what I've learned and I may be reading the rest of his series. I think I like it the most because it is an engaging style to listen to and to read. If you want simple as in easy to comprehend and implement this is a book for you but at the same time it is not simplistic.

if you're uncertain, I think you should get a sample of the book if you can ( ebook) or whatever and see if it is something along the lines that you need. I found that it is going to work very nicely for me.

Great book contains new information.

I really liked this book. It was very inspirational. Contains a lot of new information not found in other books on writing

it does what the title says

Chris Foxx lays out how to create a writing habit into easy to follow steps. i would suggest listening if you want assistance with getting into the writing habit. I am glad I read this book

Making me a big fan of Chris

Reading his books and writing even though I'm going into more of a marketing aspect and copy writing process. As well as a web developer this was a perfect mix Steven Pressfield and David Allen. Big names good job Chris. can't wait to read Write to Market / listen to hehe. going out to pick up some of his other books fantasy stuff after this group on writing.

The Author is Partly Right

Everyone can write who has moderate to high intelligence but not everyone can write well. This is a God-given talent that not everyone has. Luckily I do. But with work, others can learn to write to some degree. This needs to be clarified by the author better. Other than that, he makes some good points- especially regarding how millennials think that participation alone is enough. I'm a professional writerer and I make a lot of money writing. Not everyone can do what I do, but most people can learn to at least improve their abilities through work and effort. Don't listen to critics though who don't like your work just because they have an opinion. Some opinions are based on perverted or distorted ideas on what is good.

Fundamentally sound

Great for a writer looking to change their lifestyle for the better. The exercises are thought provoking. Thanks for this, Chris.

Truthful without being annoying

Chris Fox is honest and doesn’t shove the message without having a good reason to do so.

Praise for Chris Fox!

Before I listened to this book, I had no idea how to be a writer... of habit. now I have a framework to build my skills from and be a lifelong, wealthy writer. Thanks Chris, I appreciate it!
