When Chapter Seven started with “Well, we’ve come to the end of
this e-book,” my heart sunk in disappointment. Could this
wonderful book be over so soon? Lea’s quick wit and cut to the
chase advice has re-focused me on my writing. At the time of
reading “Assaulting A Writer’s Thinking,” I had already begun my
descent of negative thinking that my writing career was not going
in the direction I desired. But when I took the time to jot down
my goals and accomplishments since graduating from the Institute
of Children ’s Literature – Writing for Children and Teenagers
course of study in April 2007, I began to realize that my steps
have been quite steady. Thanks to Lea I now consider myself a full
fledge writer. Thank you Lea for refocusing me, your writing and
influence have and continue to be a true inspiration.
“Assaulting A Writer’s Thinking,” is a must read to reset your
writing priorities. Consider Lea your own personal “kick-butt
trainer” much like Mickey the trainer in the Rocky I movie. I just
hope I never have to ask her to “cut me,” but I know she’ll send
me a well needed cyber-space slap upside the back of my head
whenever I need it.

The Frugal Editor: "We writers often work alone
with no one to nag us. Enter Lea Schizas, listmom to hundreds (?)
of writers who Assaults our lazy habits as needed with
humor and love.
"In
Assaulting a Writer's Thinking Lea Schizas tells writers
what's good for them, but more than that, she convinces them they
should do what's good for them and tells them how to go about
doing it."

I finished your
ebook, ‘Assaulting a Writer’s Thinking’ last night. This morning I
went through it again and ended up making a paper copy of it. So
yes, I give it a thumbs up. It’s a damn good butt kicking sermon,
Thank You!
What you say and
how you say it is clear, simple and energizing. It’s worth its
weight in gold as it cuts through a lot of the crap…pardon me…..fog,
that sits out there waiting for beginners like myself, so for that I
thank you.
No sooner had I
finished re-reading it than I laid out a 5 year goal
for myself, all broken down into manageable chunks. For energizing
me to figure that out – I thank you
Good stuff
Good job Good ebook
