Chuck Wendig dispenses 1001 tips on how to write stuff and not be a dick online. I've not read any of his other work, not even been intrigued by it but he's one of these new, interesting authors (self described as a hybrid) who function in multiple mediums and aren't afraid to self-publish, give stuff away for free or interact with the world as somebody who loves to put words on the page and as such he seemed like somebody whose pennyworth was worth a few hours of my time. AND THEY WERE! If only all authors were this interesting and obviously decent as a human being. His enthusiasm for his craft shines through and his willingness to pass on the hard learned facts of life as an author in the modern world to all of us wannabe wordsmiths should be lauded. Yes, I feel encouraged to write, enthused by my ongoing attempts to avoid procrastination and had my life choices affirmed by somebody who has made similar choices work for them. Who wouldn't be impressed by such a work? But also I was quite entertained by his particular brand of explanation, the many references to donkey sperm and geriatric sex dungeons. So, educational and entertaining combine to form one of the more interesting books for struggling writers as far as I'm concerned and if he gets a bit repetitive, what do you expect from 1001 tips anyway and if you know it all already, then surely you should feel ready to get out there and offer your creative concoction to the world in one of the many ways discussed within. WIN!
