Reading This Book Made Me Late for Work

Other side effects include highlighter fatigue

“Imposter syndrome” is a highly overused phrase among writers. I’m not sure why we can’t just know we’re doing something good and go with it instead of questioning, second-guessing, and sweating bullets before we do something as simple as hit a submit button.

There’s a book for writers like this.

I’d been sitting on the fence about ordering my copy for a while, mostly because I told myself I couldn’t justify spending money during the pandemic. But then I went and redecorated my entire bedroom in a couple of clicks on Amazon. Then I adopted a whole puppy whose startup costs have totaled well over a grand in her first two months.

Surely I could treat myself to a friggin book.

Especially a book written by a woman who built an entire six-figure copywriting business based on the middle finger.

Readers of this book have been known to quit their day jobs, do something brave, build fabulous and lucrative businesses, drink wine before 4 pm, and go on to build generally amazing lives—despite wherever they started. Common side effects include highlighter fatigue, excessive chuckling, and severe neck cramps. Content not suitable for defeatists, naysayers, or the Swedish (because how much better could your life possibly get?)

The book arrived at my door about an hour before I had to go to work (so ironic). But I decided to open it and peruse for a bit before jetting off, and I quickly ended up regretting it.

Not only was it too good to put down but I felt like a schmuck that I was just heading off to my hum-drum job rather than following some real dreams.

Only one person on earth could make growing up in a trailer park sound riveting, and that person is the author of this book.

Needless to say, I was late for work. Just buy the book.

And if you do? Please report back because I’d love to have a chat sesh and hear your thoughts.

In other, less trailer-parkish news, I launched a new Medium publication centered around the direction I’ll be moving in with my personal endeavors. It’s a sister pub to my new website so I’ll be cross-promoting the crap out of most pieces I write.

More news on that at a later date. Because there IS news.

Have a super fantastic rest of your week!
