Boy oh boy do I recommend this book.
It's particularly helpful for the NaNoWriMo crowd who need words of encouragement and just a kick in the pants, really. It's filled with hilarious curse words and a certain underlying kindness. You never feel as if Mr. Wendig is talking down to you at any given point. He wants you to succeed. He will cheer you on and tell you it's time to stop procrastinating. He will give you writing advice. He will be an awesome companion throughout your noveling journey.
My co-writers and myself have gone above and beyond the original NaNoWriMo word count goal of 50K. We are still not close to finishing the story so we (or at least I) will use the super practical plan Mr. Wendig talks about in the appendix of this book. Writing 350 words five days a week. Weekends are off. It's practical, doable and amazing, just like Mr. Wendig's advice.
