Stop Whining And Start Writing

You’ve been talking about writing that book for years, haven’t you? Well, talking ain’t typing —
and waiting ain’t writing. Stop Whining and Start Writing is a hilarious kick in the pants you didn’t
know you needed — kind of a tough-love rib-tickler — delivered in a unique style that only
someone who’s been there can offer.
Packed with brutally honest advice, practical tips, and laugh-out-loud moments, Stop Whining
and Start Writing is your guide to ditching the excuses, hugging the unhuggable, and finally
putting your story on the page.
Whether you’re too busy cleaning out your junk drawer, mating your socks, or searching for the
meaning of life ever since the 1974 Jethro Tull concert in Philly, this book is here to push you
straight to the pen — ink pen, that is.
Because the truth is, writing isn’t just for the young and fearless. It’s for coots, codgers, duffers,
and raisins too. Besides, you know way more crap than they do.
Write the book. No one’s waiting for you.
About the Author:
Now in his late sixties, Jack Straw has lived enough life for two people — and he’s got the
stories to prove it. A former federal inmate and former cop, Jack has seen life from both sides of
the street, giving him a unique perspective on humanity, humor, and resilience.
After completing his first book at age 61, he has since authored four books: two nonfiction, one
fiction, and one children’s book. Living in Iowa with his wife, Megan, Jack has developed a
passion for helping people — especially those in the second half of their life — let go of their
inhibitions and embrace their creativity.
Jack believes it’s never too late to tell your story, start a new chapter, or completely rewrite your
script. Whether you’re looking to finally write that book or tackle a new dream... Stop Whining
and Start Writing.
