WARNING: Don't read this book if you want to sit around eating Bon-Bons. It will fire you up and make you want to change the whole f*ing world, even if you woke up in the morning barely able to change your underwear.
When the Middle Finger Project arrived, I was ill on the couch, contemplating the ceiling fan as if it could unlock the Secret of Life. I'd been there for the better part of three years. It's a long story I'd rather have a root canal than lay on you, but suffice it to say, when Ash's book arrived, I felt not so much like I was dying, but that I already had. And that my work and my own book—which I'd been so Ash-like ON FIRE about and so close to launching before all hell broke loose in my body—had gone with me.
It's very hard to read when you're dead.
But I...Walked. All. The. Way. Across. the room, picked up The Middle Finger Project, and started reading.
Page by page, Ash hugged me with one arm and smacked me upside the head with the other, in all the right ways. Page by page, she said (yelled, snorted, whispered), "You can do it." "You better f*ing do it, Little Missy." "Look what I did...you know, it hasn't been a basket of f*ing roses for me, either." I laughed. I cried. I even changed out of my pajamas.
Page by page, fresh ideas about my own work popped like hot-buttered popcorn, activated by Ash's fresh ideas. Oh my! An IDEA! I remember those! How delightful! Page by page, I was inspired by the power of resiliency, self-reliance, grit, persistence, and creativity TMFP contained, but it wasn't because Ash wrote about those things. No, I was inspired by those things because that's who Ash IS.
And that's when I remembered: that's who I am, too. And THAT chick CAN change the f*ing world. The one here watching the ceiling fan? She's not dying. She's just regrouping. Today, my underwear. Tomorrow, the world!
Yeah, it's like that. If you want to stay uninspired, doubtful, and afraid to be your best, badass self, do not read this book. If, on the other hand, you want (or need) a reminder to BRING IT, BIOTCH, get the book and let Ash do that for you. Sometimes, all we need is someone who's flipped convention a joyous bird and done her thing without apology to remind us we can do the same.

Follow & share your most ✨ dangerous ✨ ideas
I’ve been reading Ash’s work for seven years. I still have the first guide of hers I ever downloaded, because 7 years later, it’s still more honest, refreshing, and f-bomby than most things I see today.That said, this may be the best thing she’s written to date. (I have no doubt she’ll find a way to top this in a perfectly inappropriate way involving Ryan Gosling covered in caramel.)It’s still honest and refreshing and full of f-bomby goodness. But this felt like a love letter. Between the cat litter debacles and tarps full of shingles, she shows that we all deserve whatever we want.You want something unconventional, frowned-upon, misunderstood, ridiculous, terrifying, or just not a while picket fence with 2.5 kids in the burbs, that’s awesome. Go get it! That’s what she’s saying. Unless you’re a serial killer.She doesn’t say it will be easy. She doesn’t offer platitudes. What she does is weave calls to action into her personal stories. Not for herself, but for anyone reading or listening. (I highly recommend the audiobook if you want to laugh even harder.)She insists that you follow your most dangerous ideas and share them so you can get paid. Yep, money. She talks about it a lot and it’s fantastic.If you need a kickstart to make a change now, this very second, then read or listen to this book. Keep an open mind and ask yourself the hard questions and make sure you eat first because she talks a lot about food.
