And after reading Word by Word, I will also add motivational.' 'As a newbie writer, it was good to gain insight into how an experienced writer manages things like distractions, getting started, blocks and procrastination. I love the way Cassandra packs a diverse array of tips and techniques between the covers, seemingly covering every aspect of preparing for writing, much like an athlete prepares for a race.''What I really enjoyed about this book was how Cassandra drew me into her own writing journey and shared how she overcomes things like getting started, staying focused, managing interruptions, making time to write, and finishing. I felt some magic alchemy in here, it was as if by reading her personal experience, I gained insight which made me realise I wasn’t alone in the experience, was just under-resourced in the solution.''This book covered strategies from neuroscience, nutrition, mindset, tips from addiction science, and stories of staying true to self. And true to Cassandra’s passion for passion, this subject is captured as well.''I love Cassandra’s writing style, which is fast and fresh, infused with a hint of sensuality. This book packs in a lot of subject matter. Every writer looking for a source of tips and tools to stay the course and get their book finished would benefit from a read.'
