Title: A few too many religious connotations for me
Review: As someone who wants to write but struggles, this book seemed like it might be right up my alley. Unfortunately I found it a bit too oblique to be much use.It essentially characterises your writer's block and lack of motivation as this powerful force called 'resistance' that is apparently lurking everywhere and trying to distract us and hold us back at every corner. Even ignoring the obvious biblical connotations of that, it's a bit too dramatic for me.The word 'angel' crops up quite often too, and while the author does briefly touch on the fact that you can substitute that word for muse if you're not a believer, it doesn't change the overall feeling and direction of the book.In terms of content, I found the book pretty short, and lacking on actual practical advice. There's a few useful tips scattered throughout, but all in all it wasn't for me.
Is the review positive or negative?
