Never Say You Can't Survive: How to Get Through Hard Times by Making Up Stories by Charlie Jane Anders

4.0

This is the only writing guide I've ever read that's made me feel warm and fuzzy. It's part solid writing guide, part cheerleading, part memoir and overall feels like chatting with an old friend who's reminding you "You can do this! You do you!" I didn't think any particular piece of writing advice in the book was revolutionary, but I really enjoyed the gentle and encouraging tone. Next time I'm ready to do some creative writing, I'll probably pull Never Say You Can't Survive off my shelf.
