A great high five of a book!

“Thumb your nose at all jeerers, know-it-alls, and critics” (Brenda Ueland) and read this ode to all of us pantsers, INFJs, and INFPs who start fast and fix later.

“You should lower the bar from ‘best-seller' to ‘would not make someone vomit.'”

“The quickest, easiest way to produce something beautiful and lasting is to risk making something horribly crappy.”

“Amateur writers who take years and years to write their rough drafts are sentencing themselves and those around them to a constant barrage of ‘novel guilt.' ... By compressing all the procrastination and ensuing self-loathing into thirty manageable days, you'll be more pleasant to be around the rest of the time.”
