      It's an ok book. His advice at points sounds like a Tony Robbins self help seminar, but he does have some decent advice in the middle. Be warned, the word processor section is absolute bull. A hammer doesn't make a blacksmith, nor does a word processor make a writer.

      Adore this audiobook! Full of juicy content. This is what I call a "Real How To".
      Special thanks to Narrator. Excellent work!

      I'm just starting my first novel and this was such an amazing find! If you're like me and have a loud inner critic listen to this one. Very encouraging and teaches you to embrace your writing spirit.
    • 5/5
      This book is, without a doubt, the best book I read this month!
      Everything is super simple explained.
      Thanks, Ronn.

      Short, to the point, and many helpful tips! I don't agree with everything that he states, but it was still useful to get a different perspective on common writing advice that is usually toted as truths. Writing is a personal process. Take what works and leave what doesn't.
