Serious Writers Never Quit: 5 Strategies to Win at Writing

Awaken your writing warrior today

This is my review of Serious Writers Never Quit, Bryan Hutchinson’s book. What follows are the five most powerful lessons I learned as I went through the book.

Are you a serious writer?

Maybe someone has asked you that and you scratched your head.

“Sure. I’ve always been serious.”

But what does that mean? Is there one definition? Or is it up to you to decide what that means?

Yes, and yes.

The simple answer is serious writers write. They may not do it every day, but they want to. If you’ve ever struggled with wondering whether you’re a serious writer, or whether your words make sense enough for anyone to read or care about, this book will show you the way.

Serious writers play the mind game to win.

We all talk to ourselves.

You wake up in the morning and tell yourself it’s going to be a great day or that you’re so tired you wish you could sleep forever. You look at your draft and either stoke the fire or let it die from neglect. The choice is yours, and it makes all the difference.
