According to Greg Miller, there are five phases for any large scale writing project: gathering, planning, rough drafts, revising, and releasing. In his book How To Be A Writer Who Writes: Strategies and Tactics to Start and Finish Your Book or Script, Miller takes each phase and explains it to the reader, or aspiring writer, while challenging him/her to start writing their own project. The author promises that by the end of the book, the reader-writer will be left with a rough draft of their own. From learning about how to gather material and plan your writing, to tips on how to construct plots and characters, How To Be A Writer Who Writes covers all: motivation, finding ideas, ways to write, places to write, getting organized, managing procrastination and self-doubt, getting feedback, etc.
How To Be A Writer Who Writes is written in a way that everyone can understand. Jargon free, the book is airy with plenty of bullet points, headings and subheadings, making the reading easy and useful at the same time. The pauses between chapters are meant for the reader-writer to work on his/her own project, which makes the book attractive. This is especially for aspiring writers who don't know where to start or they are in one of the initial stages and they need to make progress with their project. I particularly liked the examples from other writers’ habits, together with the inspiring quotes which remind us that the creative process requires effort, not just an idea. How To Be A Writer Who Writes is a book that you can always get back to when you are stuck in a writing project and need an extra push to get to the next stage and finish it.
