I thought I was the only one that felt this way. I have hundreds of books and e-books, and 95% or more of them are non fiction.

The fact that they’re “made up” stories and so literally anything could happen at any time is I think what bothers me. I’ve been searching for years for an interview with Michael Stipe of REM in which he says basically the same thing, because I thought he was the only other person that felt this way!

I might need to check this out.

I’m writing a large non-fiction book for a publisher, and I have a manuscript delivery deadline, and while I have a legitimate excuse because I suffer from severe chronic pain many days and I’m a stay at home dad, I also am self-defeating because I tend to procrastinate, do other less important things in the morning (checking my phone, etc) when I need to just get the damn book DONE already.

I tend to be allergic to “self help” books, but I also realize some things obviously need to change.

This book has really helped people, and with long-term help?

(If anyone is curious about the book’s subject at all, a clue is in my Reddit name, lol)
