2k to 10k: Writing Faster, Writing Better, and Writing More of What You Love
While Aaron’s background is in fiction writing, and her focus in the book often is about plotting and other story concerns that relate to fiction, many of her tips and suggestions will work for any sort of writing. She’s very encouraging and inspiring, and I appreciated her straightforward approach.
Her ideas are also very doable, and the specific examples from her experience developing her method shows how it can work. Her approach really resonated with me and I loved reading her examples so much that I went looking for her fiction books.
My only complaint with it is that there are a fair number of typos and misspellings. It’s such a well-done book otherwise that I was surprised to find them. Don’t let that put you off from reading it, just be aware that they are there, and it’s disappointing.
I grabbed this when it was offered for free from Amazon, but that promotion has ended. It’s back to the usual price of $.99, and it’s easily worth that.
Description:
“Have you ever wanted to double your daily word counts? Do you sometimes feel like you’re crawling through your story? Do you want to write more every day without increasing the time you spend writing or sacrificing quality? It’s not impossible, it’s not even that hard. This is the book explaining how, with a few simple changes, I boosted my daily writing from 2000 words to over 10k a day, and how you can too.”Expanding on her highly successful process for doubling daily word counts, this book, a combination of reworked blog posts and new material, offers practical writing advice for anyone who’s ever longed to increase their daily writing output. In addition to updated information for Rachel’s popular 2k to 10k writing efficiency process, 5 step plotting method, and easy editing tips, this new book includes chapters on creating characters that write their own stories, practical plot structure, and learning to love your daily writing. Full of easy to follow, practical advice from a commercial author who doesn’t eat if she doesn’t produce good books on a regular basis, 2k to 10k focuses not just on writing faster, but writing better, and having more fun while you do it.
