If you've ever wanted to write a book, the next thought is always why you can't do it. - And because of that, most people don't. In 'You Can't Write A Book,' Barry J McDonald takes you down the path of why you won't write a book and all things that are making you think this way. Although focused on writing, it's a must-read for anyone who's thinking of getting out of their comfort zone and taking on new challenges.
If I’m honest I thought this would be a satirical look at why writers struggle. Instead it was a honest view of all of the things that could stop you. The fear of failure, critical people and your lack of belief in yourself (here’s looking at you kid). Whilst it wasn’t what I expected it was like having a motivational speaker tell you the worst that might happened but it might just be okay and give you the courage to carry on regardless. If you’re on the fence about writing then you should read this it may push you off your fence. I wish you luck whichever side you fall. It’s too late for me I fell of the fence a while back, the view isn’t always as good but at least I no longer wonder if I can write a book.
