Review: It's all so obvious once you're told

My issue has always been that I get to about 3000 words a day and that was my limit. It was always so frustrating when I sat at a keyboard for a few hours and check my word count for the day and go "WHAT! I had to have written much more than that." I would look on the floor to see if some words fell off the screen and blame the Cat5 cable for sucking my words out to the internet.There are no gems in here, per se. You read this and you'll go "Oh, I should've known that already." I was surprised there wasn't a chapter on learning how to type. (If you use two fingers you're doing it wrong). Yes, there is a lot about planning in this book, because that is most important. Looking back at previous endeavors I noticed that when I already had the scene set in my mind exactly how I wanted it, I could right 5k words in an hour and a half and barely pause to sip my coffee.If you're looking for magic or some kind of gimmick it's not here. I think they'll be a late night infomercial for that later this week and it comes with a diet pill that lets you eat cheesecake. This is just sound advice that helps you get over that hump. Easy formula Time+effort+planning= production. I took a few tips out of this book to apply and that's really all I can ask for.
