I'm so glad I didn't, but that option always lurks in the back of my head. A quote I saw once and failed to get down the name of the author said something like: No one can tell your story in exactly the same way you can tell your story.

It's super easy, cheap and works great in a pinch for a variety of projects.<br /><br />My favourite "inspirational" writing book is "Writing as a Way of Healing" by Louise DeSalvo. I'm not usually into self-help and that type of book, but I found it really helped ground and focus me.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cdgallantking.ca/2017/06/C.D.
