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.) Writing & Publishing Funny Witty Words, Language & Grammar Fiction

This book is for those of us who have been slogging away in the trenches for a while and we are tired, blocked, and sad. We have put a lot of pressure on ourselves and it has resulted in a lot of needless suffering. This enjoyable, profanity-laden book really gets to the heart of all that pressure and how to relieve it and continue on with your writing.

The narrator was fantastic - he got the tone and cadence down perfectly. A plus!

Very enjoyable for us seasoned writers
