I went through the exercises documenting my responses to each one along with the bonus questions. And also taking the necessary steps to finish them or to add the action to my task list. I have been writing daily (5 days now) and have established trackers, reminders in place, reading lists, goals, etc for each of the 12 exercises. Absolutely recommend doing them as you go or at the end. Completion of them solidified the lessons learned during the reading. I am excited to be on my way to a lifelong writing daily habit.

I like the straight forward succinct style of this writer and content. I didn’t take his advice to do the exercises at the end of each chapter before reading the next, but I have committed (blocked time in my calendar) to tackle them within a few days. I will come back here and let you know what I think. I wanted to read straight through for the first reading. If you are wanting to create a daily writing habit this is a good place to start. Armed with the knowledge and tips that have worked for Fox I am ready to start.

Very good read
Another winner from Chris. I'm looking forward to reading Plot Gardening and the two launch books. I look forward to putting this into practice.

Didn't add anything substantial to the material covered in his previous book. If you've ever read a blog post about habit formation, you've read this.
Easy to read, hard to practice
Easy read, hard to practice. Chris Fox writes a fast read to give writers the habits they need to be successful, including an exercise at the end of each chapter to build a habit of daily writing.

I really enjoyed it, having watched the author's 21 day novel challenge on YouTube, very motivational!
Amazing book, short and sweet and gets right to what to do without wasting my time padding it's page count like most self help books. Applied what it told me and I'm already seeing impovement in my life.
