This is a short, easy-to-read guide to writing faster and enjoying the process, and I'm glad I gave it a chance! While I can't say there's anything revolutionary inside, and some of the formatting could have been a bit cleaner, the material is solid and full of very valuable reminders.
As someone who also works best plotting and outlining a fair amount before writing, I needed the reminder that it can make a huge difference. I also appreciated her repeating that there isn't only ONE right way to write fiction - this is just what works best for her. I related to most of what she shared, and look forward to implementing some of these practices with my next draft!
An unexpected helpful extra was her section on editing. Again, there wasn't anything revolutionary revealed, but for some reason, her straightforward tips clicked especially well, and I actually find myself excited to edit my next draft!
Overall, this is a quick, fun, and helpful read that might just be the jumpstart you need to get writing again. I recommend giving it a try!
(My only complaint would be a couple usages of language - nothing too extreme, but I would have preferred the book be without them.)
