I've read many books about the practice of writing but Writing With Cold Feet offers more practical advice than is commonly supplied. Kathrin really seems to understand the kinds of demons writers face, and how to deal with them... I would recommend anyone interested in the practice of any creative act read Writing with Cold Feet to get a better understanding of what is going on and how to deal with it. Creation is a struggle, find anything helpful and use it.LOVE TO WRITE AGAINWhat an incredibly helpful book. I discovered ways I sabotage my writing that I didn't even realize I was doing. Kathrin is clear, helpful and even funny in showing how to get over procrastination, self-sabotage and plain old avoidance and get down to loving, rather than dreading, writing.
