This was okay! There were some good and interesting ideas, and I appreciated the emphasis at the end about not getting so caught up in writing and productivity that you don't enjoy just..living. But there was also some prescriptivism that I didn't love, and some unacknowledged privilege that made some of the advice, to me, fall short.
On a neutral point: a lot of it was geared toward self-publishing which wasn't particularly useful for me, but others may definitely find that helpful.
A solid read. As with any writing related book, some of the concepts are dated (thankfully, mostly in the tools area).
I liked the scheduling and planning section. I'm working on improving those aspects of my writing.
