Officially creating a DNF shelf and adding this one to it.
After a two-year hiatus from this book, I have finally accepted what I knew long ago — I am not going back. And having it sit half-finished has held me back from pursuing other writing exercise books for far too long. It is time to move on.
I was initially excited about this book that tackles the more “business-y” side of writing and being an author, and I read and did the exercises diligently for the first several chapters. But the questions end up being incredibly repetitive and the exercises uninspiring, until my dread of returning to it led to the long break while I coped with the fact that this “finisher” was not going to finish this book.
I guess I’ll have to find some other way to train as an author.
