How to Kick Writer's Block is an easy read that gives tips a writer can really use. I'm always interested in how the brain works. Rogan explains, in a way that is funny and understandable to the non-scientist, why your brain panics at the thought of writing a book or screenplay, and gives tips on how to trick your inner critic into thinking it is tackling something much shorter and simpler than a long novel. If you think, "I must write a 250 page novel," then your brain finds all kinds of reasons to avoid it--memories of teachers hating your writing, your own self-doubt, bad reviews. There are ways to make your brain think it is doing something fun and friendly--and a month or so later you've tricked it into finishing that novel. How to Kick Writer's Block tells you how.
I found several tips I plan to use for my own writing.
Mr. Rogan sent me an ARC in exchange for a fair review.

Michael Rogan’s How to Kick Writers Block in the Ass absolutely nails the reasons for writer’s block and provides doable steps to take to overcome it. I loved that the book is straight to the point and that it didn’t take me a long time to read—after all, I could be writing. I read it in one sitting. Not only was it full of tips that I will actually use, it was engaging and humorous. I’ve come away with steps to take to silence my inner critiques (yes, there can be several of them inside us writers), not be intimidated by the size of my project, and immerse myself in my project. Of course, Michael Rogan covers other aspects of writer’s block, but these are the areas that affect me the most. I recommend this book to any writer—no matter what format they write in—who wants to be more productive and write better doing it.
