Buckle up chucklefucks I& #39;m gonna motherfucking learn how to write a book
Might actually tweet bits of this lol
i love the central irony of this book, which is that it& #39;s a book about writing that is completely unreadable
Chuck& #39;s never seen a sentence that has too many similes in it
honestly his verbal tick that is closest to making me want to delete the ebook and magnetize my harddrive is adding the -monkey suffix to everything. writers are penmonkeys whose wordmonkeying is a sacred duty
I don& #39;t even have words for this
Every chapter is just a listicle. like the 1001 ways is meant literally. it& #39;s just chapter after chapter of numbered lists. And every fourth one is just & #39;WRITE YOUR SHIT, DAILY, I MEAN IT, WRITERS FINISH THINGS& #39; which is true i guess but not sure it& #39;s worth being 25% of the book
spoken like a man who is currently suing the internet archive for making copies of your shitty books available online
i hate every choice i& #39;ve made in my life that have brought me to this place
This paragraph is raw, uncut wendig. It& #39;s chuck in his purest form.
what& #39;s a metaphor? a metaphor is like a simile
Just passed the 500th piece of advice.
Just posting this for the hilarious distance between his own writing style and what he& #39;s advising
so much of it is written in this corny 90s comedian fake rapper voice, just a truly baffling decision for a book published in 2013
I& #39;m genuinely struggling to keep reading at this point. I& #39;m 228 pages in and I don& #39;t know how much more i can take
Chuck has definitely given a female writer a 1 star review on goodreads for not using quotation marks
I finished it. 436 pages of pure dreck. Cannot overstate how much of it is just poorly written garbage. And boorrinngggg. It& #39;s just an incredibly boring book both in terms of the prose but also the ideas. Maybe three or four thoughts in it that aren& #39;t cliche or just basic
