2,000 to 10,000

Finally! Editing Advice!

I was hesitant to read this book because writing 1,000 words a day can sometimes be difficult for me, so I assumed I would never be able to write 10K. But Rachel Aaron???s advice is solid and makes a lot of sense and I can see myself improving my word count (maybe not to 10K) by following it.

However, the part of the book I found most useful was her editing advice. I always assumed you should start at the beginning and work your way to the end (perhaps this is why I???ve yet to fully edit a manuscript), but I love Rachel???s method and will be implementing it immediately.

This is a must-read for any writer!

This is the first and only book I've read on writing, so that should be taken into context of my rating and review.

5 stars since it's helped me get a firm understanding on how I would tackle writing a novel and that's what I wanted to get out of it. It's very short and is packed with useful information for someone who hasn't had writing experience since high school. One of the most useful things for me was the basic framework to use when writing to avoid making costly mistakes. I found every part of this book really interesting and there was always something to take away.

I write professionally and from time to time, you need a little reminder, a wake-up call, a sanity check on how you work.
So I went for this one. Not sure why.
It's a simple yet good book about writing. Nothing fancy or overly complicated ; she's an author, wrote more than 10 published novel, shares her experiences. Her triangle system for writing 10k a day is simple and interesting. The rest is probably a bit too low-level for me, but it is explained with clarity and passion. Overall, a good read about writing without being pretentious and narrow-minded.
