The author really simplifies areas that we should have recognized or come to on our own, but we don't because far too often we can't see the forrest for the trees ( bad cliche - I know.)  This book is full of treasures that will enhance your writing career. Your personal goal DOES NOT have to be to write 10K words per day for this book to enrich your writing. Rachel's tips can transform you into a faster writer, but more importantly, her tips and advice will help you figure out what to write next when you are stuck. Her three basic tips: Knowledge, time and enthusiasm are cleverly simple and brilliant.I benefited the most from her suggestion of spending five or more minutes working out what you want or need to write before sitting down at the computer and starting.  This has saved me so much time and aggravation  in addition allowed me to learn more about my novel.  I could go on and on but it would take me forever to comment on the numerous ways this book has improved my writing skills.I recommend this book to all writers, those of us still writing or revising our first novel to the seasoned author. Thank you showing me the best way to track my writing time. I was surprised to learn that I do my best work during the afternoon since I always thought I produced my best work late at night .
