Gentle Writing Advice
ByPublisher Description
Finally--a book of writing advice that accounts for all of the messy, perverse, practical, and inexplicable parts of being a human who writes
The truth is that all of the "writing rules" you've learned are bullshit. Sure, they work for some people, but the likelihood that they'll work for you--unique butterfly of a person that you are--is slim.
That doesn't mean you're out of luck! There is meaningful advice to be had in the writing world, and Chuck Wendig is here to deliver it. In this hilarious guide, Wendig will help you discover more about yourself as a writer, parse through your quirks and foibles, and help you figure out the best way for you to get words on the page--without destroying yourself along the way.
With behind-the-scenes stories of Wendig's own writing struggles, sections on debunking popular advice, self-care tips, and more footnotes than are strictly necessary (or legally recommended by scientists), Gentle Writing Advice will give the unvarnished truth about the writing process and remind you of what's actually important--taking care of the writer. (That's you, by the way.)

“Super funny and actually solid, nuanced advice. Also I’m definitely gonna try the whole “unfocus my eyes to find the birds” trick. Both figuratively and literally.”

“I had a fun time reading this book. The author gives gentle writing advice but in a real and practical manner. The book serves as a good guide and reminder for writers or those who are working on their own writing projects. Some ideas were new to me, others were reminders of my own writing journey. And I have never laughed this much reading a book, for the longest time. Loved it!”
