review 1: Read parts of the book in preparation for a Mighty Ugly workshop at our library. Kim was gracious & skyped with us, in spite of the 3 hour time difference on a Saturday morning. She was terrific, just like the book. All the women attending the workshop had great fun and felt liberated by the exercise. Highly recommend the book for creative people, people who feel like they can't create, people who want to be more creative, and those of us who are plagued by that voice in our heads telling us we can't do something. Yes You Can!Now just to find the time in my stacks of to-read books to read it in entirety. Like the idea on her website to have a book group work through the book. Maybe I'll try this next year!
review 2: *I recieved this book through Goodreads First... more Read Program in exchange for a review* I am rather fond of the author's no-nonsense, spunky, style of writing. It is very engaging and enjoyable. The one problem is, I was expecting something a bit different from this book...it is comprised of one part advice, one part exercises, and about three parts life store. I was expecting it to be more of a thing similar to 'Wreck This Journal' but specifically geared towards helping readers break through creative blocks. I was hoping for crafty exercises to overcome procrastination, to break tendencies of perfectionism, to beat up fear of failure...and so forth. Instead what we got was a snarky self help book with several really good exercises and excellent pieces of advice. So really my only complaint is it was not what I was expecting. I did really enjoy the exercises and the blocks with advice that share links to podcasts and websites was a brilliant little bit. I do wish that maybe there will be a Mighty Ugly II that will be nothing but exercises and projects that shake you out of your creative comfort zone, I will buy it up instantly. less
