Gentle Writing Advice: How to Be a Writer Without Destroying Yourself by Chuck Wendig

funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

A little meandering in the first half and delivered with Wendig's comic crassness which may not be to everyone's taste, <i>Gentle Writing Advice</i> is nevertheless another great craft book from a experienced writer with a talent for conveying helpful advice in a readily accessible manner. With this book, Wendig focuses less on the writing and more on being a writer, revising some of his earlier beliefs while also providing an empathetic discussion of how the state of the world and creativity have changed in recent years. It's a kind, realistic, and hopeful literary hug from one writer who has been through a lot of it to every creative struggling to find a new way forward
