My Word Count Benefited Instantly

I kept telling myself that good writing took time and shouldn't be rushed, but really all I was doing was staring at an unfinished page overthinking what to write next.

After putting Chris's methods to use, my word count a day went from 750 - 1000 to over 2000 words, and I spent less time writing! All I did was find a quiet place, press a timer, and suddenly my inner editor was no where to be heard. Sure, the writing that resulted was less than grammatically correct, but it takes all but minutes to go back and edit punctuation and misspelling.

When I compared the writing I did during sprints to when I was taking my sweet time, it was just as good - if not better. The key difference was I had no time to judge myself.

This worked for me - and I can't wait to see how my word count improves in the months to come with this method.

You could probably save a few bucks by googling what word sprints are but I recommend hearing Chris's take on it. His story is interesting, and all too relatable to the aspiring unpublished writer.

What storytellers who want to write faster need.

to-the-point writing productivity advice

Chris Fox did an excellent job collecting a variety of writing productivity advice and putting it into a streamline system anyone can follow. He doesn't spend time talking about himself or generalities but presents you with actionable items you can follow. He reiterates some of the points a lot which could get redundant but I found that they were the right things to re-emphasize. A definite must-read for beginner or middle stage writers looking to increase their efficiency.

Great motivation book with great tips on writing

Love this short and to the point book on learning ways to start writing. I got the kindle version along with the audible companion. This book is well written, and to the point. I recommend this to anyone with writers block or a fear of writing.

Absolutely recommend!

What a great resource! It's changed my writing process and I've found I'm more creative than ever when I'm writing quickly!

A Gem for Authors New and Old

I loved the ideas and advice in this book. The book unfortunately did include some less-than-savory language but it was minimal. Thanks Chris, awesome book that I will be re-reading and practicing until I likewise achieve Olympian heights.
