Very helpful and informative

This book was for me because I am writing a book and I needed assistance in understanding and to know what to expect. It provided me with different things to know that I never thought about.

Fun way to learn good info about the writing process

This is an enjoyable listen that touches on lots of insightful ideas that all new writers (like me) need to hear. Not highly technical, but frankly, you can get that elsewhere. I listened while I took my daily walk and really enjoyed it. Thanks, Nathan!

When editing

When editing
hating your novel does not make your self editing any better, thats ridiculis. Id agree with Nathan if he said that that works with some people, but he profiled all writers in that hating their novel with make you edit it better. thats just superstition, theres no evidence of this just hear say.
