This really hit a lot of the right notes for the writer geek in me. Not sure if 10k per day is really feasible and sustainable, but looking forward to trying some of the techniques and seeing if I can write more efficiently.

I write professionally and from time to time, you need a little reminder, a wake-up call, a sanity check on how you work.
So I went for this one. Not sure why.
It's a simple yet good book about writing. Nothing fancy or overly complicated ; she's an author, wrote more than 10 published novel, shares her experiences. Her triangle system for writing 10k a day is simple and interesting. The rest is probably a bit too low-level for me, but it is explained with clarity and passion. Overall, a good read about writing without being pretentious and narrow-minded.

I think most of this stuff can be found on her blog, I just wanted to pay for it cause Rachel Aaron has given me a lot of really good advice over the past year and I feel like it's the least I could do to buy her book and read it. She's got a lot of very clarifying thoughts that speak to me as a writer, so I was pleased!

Writing advice should make you want to write more. Rachel does a great job of doing just that.

Okay. Practical advice, but couldn’t shake the feeling that it was mostly highly specialized advice for a narrow group of people peppered with a ton of references about the author’s own work. By full title and series name. Repeatedly.

I used her spreadsheet method of tracking my writing. Now I have hard data to help me see where I get stuck, where I write my best, etc.

Worth it for that alone.
