meh

This was a good way for me to procrastinate for a couple of hours without doing what I should be doing....writing. However, as a well established self help junkie the concepts in this book were not new to me but is served as a summary of something all writers need reminding of...write lots and write consistently..... I confess that I was also slightly put off by the author's lack of commercial success as well as the very bold way he plugs his own products. The most intriguing chapter for me was the final one in which he revealed his own life experience and also that he writes on the side of his day job.....like most of us who dream of commericial success.....I could at least relate to that but was disapointed that he didn't say how successfully his books have sold....but then he does not see writing as a full time career. tbh I was actually outraged and ready to end the book when he revealed that his actual true passion in life was designing apps....I love designing apple apps he says...... its great he has a passion in life and best of luck with that....but if you're going to teach me something about writing...I need to know that you love it the way I love it....that you live and breath it like I do.... writing is my life..also his day schedule sounds exhausting....work work work...always trying to achieve another goal and get to the next level....it made me dizzy just listening to that....in fact he may have inspired a character for me next piece! .......I gave this 3 stars overall because he reminded me of some useful things ...... and I found him interesting as a person .....but it is with love I say this book was not suited to me and my situation and I dont think I will be reading any more from this author ....

I Have this Book in Multiple Formats

I have this book in print, ebook, and audio and come back to it from time to time when I need a boost or mind my productivity dwindling. The audio is especially good when ironing or washing up and is well narrated. I got the print book first and made notes and highlighted things. Lots of productivity tips, and quick to get through without any fluff.

Prepare to be changed

Great book, I didn't think it was possible but with Chris's help I have increased my word count considerably. I downloaded the app and it is amazing, in that it actually makes me write. I thoroughly recommend this book.

Now Chris needs to write a book on the creative process and setting out the storyline, using the same type of approach - that would be brilliant.

Also, help with editing in the same style as the 5000 word book. Money well spent

Lots of very good advice

I’ve read or listened to several books about the writing process. This one is the most useful and the most direct.

Highly recommended

This is a concise, no nonsense book that doesn't just lay out the work that needs to be done but also provides excellent direction on how to do it.
