.5/5⭐ Super pretentious. The author talks about himself in the highest terms and name/location drops all over the place. He says he has “merrily disregarded every distinction between highbrow, middlebrow, and lowbrow taste“ as if he's some benevolent writing god and then proceeds to name specific authors he clearly thinks fall into one of those brows (but he doesn't distinguish, so it's not elitist!). ⬇

hissingpotatoes The first sentence of chapter one is “The only way to begin is to begin, and begin right now,“ and the word “begin“ is repeated even after that in a long-winded paragraph that says very little and sets the stage for how the rest of the book's advice will be presented. Not for me. #roll100 2y

4/5⭐ I was hoping the entries would be more focused on the craft, the how, of writing. Instead they're all motivational stories, the why of writing. Which is fine and well done, just not what I was looking for, so I skipped most of them. The quotes and comics peppered throughout are a nice touch. #roll100

A very short and approachable primer for writing a novel. It covers all the basics: establishing a routine, choosing your POV, crafting plot and dialogue, using language appropriately, reading your drafts, and making edits. He also ends with a bit of advice for getting published.

My one gripe with this was his excessive use of examples that involved sex and/or violence. Is that all he could come up with??
