Write Faster, Write Better

Rating:
Summary: Good advice to make you a pro
Review: Some might scoff at the idea that faster writing can also be better writing, but the truth is, if you want to be a pro writer you really need to toss aside the myths of the "artiste." The length of time spent on a project has little to do with that project's quality. Once you accept that truth, the only question that remains: How can I write faster and produce more quality projects. This book gives you a wealth of tips toward that end. I don't know about anybody else, but I want to make a living at this writing game (fiction is my arena, and the principals in this book work for all forms of writing). If I only write one book every couple of years, unless I hit the NYT best-seller list, there's no way I'll pay my rent and feed my cat. While I'd love to hit #1 on the NYT list, I'm not betting my life on it. The only other option is to produce more salable writing.

If you're on the same wavelength with me here, you'll love this book. If you're not, you need to get this book to give yourself a fighting chance. Let go of the limitations your college professors and lit-mag publishing buddies burden you with, like the requisite 100 drafts, or the idea that a plan before writing is uncreative. Get this book and learn that you really can write faster, write better, and write more. Oh, and have fun doing it too, because you no longer have to believe that writing equals self-torture.
