while i wasn’t the most invested in the memoir aspect of this book (it wasn’t bad in the slightest, i’m just a girl on a mission and i want the writing advice more than anything) i don’t think there was a part of this book i thought was unnecessary. i didn’t agree with all of his advice, but i think all of it has value and is worth contemplating

ranocchietto's review

funny informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.75

This book was extremely informative and inspiring. It gave me the feeling I can write a novel, something I've always thought to be out of my league, and a general inspiration to go back to writing.
I'd recommend it to all aspiring writers, I didn't agree with all the points but it's a clear and concise in its directions, which leaves them open to reinterpretation.
The memoir sections were entertaining and moving, only the graphic descriptions of his injuries after the accident proved a bit too much for me.
I will very likely read it again when I feel like I need encouragement.

I can never quite be one with pantser advice, but there's a lot of great stuff in here.
