Too many gurus? See Emily P. Freeman’s book, THE NEXT RIGHT THING.

Rosemary B. Althoff

As an author trying to produce more and make more sales, I read a lot about my craft. The weight of resources out there is staggering! What to choose? How many writing gurus can I sustain?

How many gurus do you want?

For a while, I accumulated more newsletters, podcasts, free internet sites than I could manage. My eyes hurt from all the reading, and my emails stacked up until I felt desperate to keep up.

In The Next Right Thing, Emily P. Freeman has a whole chapter on “Stop Collecting Gurus.” (Pp. 143-151.”) So, I created a guru boundary. I’m down to about 5 newsletters and 2 podcasts—and I get into ‘em enough to feel encouraged, not overwhelmed.

However, there may be something fantastic out there. I am still open to considering new stellar writing resources. Tell me, what do you recommend?

Thank you for your comment. I find these very helpful..
