""I learned a lot from this book because it is not written only for writers, but for anyone struggling with a passion, a task, or a dream; the strategies outlined can be applied to any area of life. This book gives you the tools you need to succeed as a writer or an artist; it is written in clear prose, filled with actionable steps and insights."" Divine Zape for Reader's Favorite Book Reviews ""Colleen M. Story does more than fit personalities into profiles. She pairs these with action plans for not just identifying problems, but remedying them . . . While these specific tips are addressed to writers and their production, they can also easily be expanded to revise other pathways in life impacted by guilt, procrastination, or the tendency to become 'trapped in a cage of your own making.' Libraries, readers, and wannabe writers will thus discover that, more so than most writer's guides that may address similar concerns, the organizational structure, specific routines, and creativity of Escape the Writer's Web not only leaves little to question, but much to incorporate into daily routines and life to make for more successes with less effort. This is why Escape the Writer's Web should not only be on the reading lists of would-be creative writers, but on the radars of anyone prone to procrastination who seeks solid routines and suggestions for attacking the root issues involved in putting off success."" D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review ""Have you ever had trouble getting started on a writing project, or struggled to see it through to completion? If so, this insightful, inspiring, and results-focused book offers just what you need to move forward. Drawing on published studies and original research, Escape the Writer's Web eschews generic advice. Instead, the book identifies 13 types of procrastination, helps readers determine the types that are impeding them, and offers practical, targeted advice for breaking habits that get in the way of the day-to-day work of achieving writing goals. This thoughtful guide is a must-read for any author who is entangled in the web of procrastination yet determined to realize their writing dreams."" -Beth Castrodale, award-winning author of The Inhabitants, In This Ground, and Marion Hatley

Author Information

Colleen M. Story writes award-winning historical fantasy, supernatural thrillers, and motivational books for writers. She grew up on a Colorado ranch making up stories on horseback, which probably explains a lot. A lifelong musician, she still plays French horn in the local symphony and teaches music on the side. She's also a longtime freelance health writer and the go-to ""medical expert"" for friends and family (no pressure). When not writing, she's catching the latest sci-fi or spy thriller and inventing games for her very clever German shepherd. Find her books at colleenmstory.com or masterwritermindset.com.
