What storytellers who want to write faster need.

I write pretty fast but I have a feeling this will help me get much faster. If you're a writer you should check it out too.

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 His story is interesting, and all too relatable to the aspiring unpublished writer.

Just wow. I loved this book.

I had no idea what I was doing right, and what I needed to work on. this book was a big help.

hard work pays off

This book has some good information, and is realistic in what expectations it sets. You have to work hard to get better and achieve your goals, but the exercises in this book will help you get there if you are disciplined.

Helped me write a bestseller!

This book helped me shift my mindset and find some straightforward habits to write more and meet my deadline. Chris Fox has a no nonsense and kind writing style that I appreciate, too. I’m now moving on to several other book projects, and because of the habits I’m building from reading this book, I’m confident that I can increase my volume as I put the strategies in practice. I’ve read tons of books on writing, but this little gem where’s the key for me during a season where I had a short window of time to finish my work. That book, because of the timing, quickly became a best seller in more than one category.

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.
